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. 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.
