7,8-Dihydroxyflavone

Synonyms: 7,8-DHF

7,8-Dihydroxyflavone (7,8-DHF) acts as a potent and selective small-molecule agonist of the TrkB receptor (Kd ≈ 320 nM), the main signaling receptor of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF).

Biological Activity

Description 7,8-Dihydroxyflavone (7,8-DHF) acts as a potent and selective small-molecule agonist of the TrkB receptor (Kd ≈ 320 nM), the main signaling receptor of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF).
Targets
TrkB receptor [1]
(Cell-free assay)
320 nM(Kd)
In vitro
In vitro 7,8-DHF is one of the positive compounds that specifically activate TrkB, but not TrkA or TrkC, at a concentration of 250 nM. In addition to cortical and hippocampal neurons, 7,8-DHF also protects other cell types including the RGC (retinal ganglion cells) and PC12 cells from excitotoxic and oxidative stress-induced apoptosis and cell death. Thus, it has neuroprotective properties[1].
Cell Research Cell lines Rat pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells
Concentrations 1-25 μM
Incubation Time 1 h
Method

PC12 cells are seeded in 96-well plates at 104/well. After pretreatment with 7,8-DHF (1-25 μM) for 1 h, the cells are exposed to 6-OHDA (100 μM) for subsequent 24 h. The PI3k inhibitor LY294002 or MEK inhibitor PD98059 is added 30 min before 7,8-DHF treatment. At the end of the experiment, PC12 cells are incubated with 20 μl of MTT solution (5 mg/ml in PBS) for 4 h at 37 ◦C. The dark blue formazan product due to the reduction of MTT is dissolved in 150 μl of DMSO, and the absorbance at 570 nm is recorded with a microplate reader. The viability is expressed as the percentage of the untreated control cells.
In Vivo
In vivo 7,8-Dihydroxyflavone is a bioavailable chemical that can pass through the BBB to provoke TrkB and its downstream PI3K/Akt and MAPK activation in mouse brain upon intraperitoneal or oral administration. 7,8-DHF promotes the survival and reduces apoptosis in cortical neurons of traumatic brain injury as administration of 7,8-DHF at 3 h post-injury reduces brain tissue damage via the PI3K/Akt pathway. Its treatment does not induce any apparent toxicity in mice and is not toxic to the mice during the chronic treatment. 7,8-DHF displays robust therapeutic efficacy toward Alzheimer's disease and inhibits obesity through activating muscular TrkB[1].
Animal Research Animal Models Male Wistar rats; male APPswe/PS1dE9 transgenic mice
Dosages 0.1 mg/kg, 0.3 mg/kg, 1 mg/kg and 3 mg/kg(Rats); 0.1 mg/kg(mice)

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
