Background:

7,8-Dihydroxyflavone is a potent and selective TrkB agonist that mimics the physiological actions of Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). Displays therapeutic efficacy toward various neurological diseases[1].

7,8-Dihydroxyflavone (500 nM) protects the primary cortical neurons and locus coeruleus (LC) neurons from Aβ-induced toxicity and promotes dendritic growth and synaptogenesis[1].

7,8-Dihydroxyflavone (5 mg/kg/day) prevents synaptic loss and memory deficits in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s Disease[1]. Administration of 7,8- dihydroxyflavone to mice activates TrkB in the brain, inhibits kainic acid-induced toxicity, decreases infarct volumes in stroke in a TrkBdependent manner, and is neuroprotective in an animal model of Parkinson disease[2].
