What is EpiAlloPregnenolone?

[tdctdc]

I see that in the description for XiSt, there is a molecule called EpiAlloPregnenolone... is this the same as Pregnenolone, or something different? The word EpiAlloPregnenolone doesn't link to the molecules page like Pregnenolone does on the LoveBoat descrption page, so I'm just wondering, are they the same?

They are different molecules, pregnenolone is pretty well reported on, Epiallopregnenolone is still a bit of a mystery.

googling epiallopregnenolone leads me to allopregnAnolone (and this thread)-- which by reading the description sounds like a relaxing and sedating compound, acting on the same receptors as alcohol and benzodiazepines.

I liken that to a disinhibition effect perhaps?

The description is wrong, its Epi-AlloPregnAnolone thats in XiST (P102).

Anybody else get irritation from epi-allopregnanolone? I seem to get headaches when I use this. Any ideas on what causes this?
