摘要

The present invention relates to novel neurosteroids, especially derivatives of allopregnanolone and of epiallopregnanolone of formula (I) and the uses thereof as medicament for the treatment of neuropathologies, in particular neuropathies induced by the chemotherapy of a cancer. These molecules according to the invention have both preventative and curative effects. The neurosteroids according to the invention may also be of use in the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders, in particular for preventing neuronal cell death. They may thus be used as neuroprotectants and/or as an agent that stimulates neuronal proliferation.
