| Physical and Chemical Properties | White crystalline powder, soluble in methanol, ethanol, DMSO and other organic solvents, is derived from the dried roots of Pulsatilla chinensis (Bge.) Regel. |
| In vitro study | 7,8-DHF at 250nm specifically activates TrkB, but not TrkA or TrkC. In addition to cerebral cortical and hippocampal neurons, 7,8-DHF also protects other cells such as retinal ganglion cells (RGC) and PC12 cells from oxidative stress-induced apoptosis and cell death. Therefore, 7,8-DHF has a neuroprotective effect. |
| In vivo study | 7,8-dihydroxyflavone is a compound with biological effects. After intraperitoneal injection or oral administration to mice, 7,8-dihydroxyflavone can cross the blood-brain barrier, activation of TrkB and its downstream PI3K/Akt and MAPK. 7,8-DHF promotes viability and reduces apoptosis of cortical neurons after traumatic brain injury. 7,8-dhf was administered 3 hours after injury, and 7,8-dhf reduced tissue damage through the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. The 7,8-DHF treatment did not induce any significant toxic effects in mice, and chronic administration was not toxic to mice. 7,8-DHF has a strong therapeutic effect on Alzheimer's disease and can inhibit obesity by activating muscle TrkB. |
