Application

ANA-12 was used to inhibit TrkB in primary mouse cortical neurons and primary rat hippocampal cultures.

Biochem/physiol Actions

The neurotrophin brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and its receptor tropomyosin-related kinase B (TrkB) have emerged as key mediators in the pathophysiology of several mood disorders, including anxiety and depression. ANA-12 is a TrkB ligand that prevents activation of the receptor by BDNF with a high potency. It binds selectively to TrkB and inhibits processes downstream of TrkB without altering TrkA and TrkC functions. In adult mice model ANA-12 decreases TrkB activity in the brain without affecting neuronal survival. Mice dosed with ANA-12 show reduced anxiety- and depression related behaviors on a variety of tests predictive of anxiolytic and antidepressant properties in humans. ANA-12 may be a valuable tool for studying BDNF/TrkB signaling and may constitute a lead compound for developing the next generation of therapeutic agents for the treatment of mood disorders. There is also N-T19, which is less potent.

Long-term potentiation (LTP) is accompanied by increased spine density and dimensions triggered by signaling cascades involving activation of the neurotrophin brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and cytoskeleton remodeling. Chemically-induced long-term potentiation (c-LTP) is a widely used cellular model of plasticity, whose

Cerebral ischemia causes the presynaptic release of tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA). The postsynaptic density (PSD) is a postsynaptic structure that provides a matrix where signaling transduction of excitatory synapses takes place. The postsynaptic density protein-95 (PSD-95) is the most abundant
