ANA-12 is a selective, small-molecule non-competitive antagonist of TrkB, the main receptor of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF).[1] ANA-12 was originally discovered and developed by Cazorla M. and colleagues at Université Paris and Inserm in 2011.[1] The compound crosses the blood-brain-barrier and exerts central TrkB blockade, producing effects as early as 30 minutes (~400 nM) and as long as 6 hours (~10 nM) following intraperitoneal injection in mice.[1] It blocks the neurotrophic actions of BDNF without compromising neuron survival.[1]
