Chemistry:Braegen-02
From HandWiki
Braegen-02 is a small-molecule drug which acts as a potent and selective agonist of the tropomyosin receptor kinase B (TrkB). It is commonly referred to as CF3CN due to the CF3 and CN groups in its chemical structure, but this may cause confusion with the unrelated chemical trifluoroacetonitrile which has the chemical formula CF3CN. As with many TrkB agonists it was derived through modification of the natural product TrkB agonist 7,8-dihydroxyflavone, but it is more potent than earlier derivatives such as R13. It is under development as a potential treatment for neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease.[1][2][3][4]
