Cyclotraxin B Inhibitor

Antagonist of TrkB receptors; inhibits BDNF-induced TrkB activity (IC50 = 0.30nM). Allosterically alters TrkB receptor conformation but does not alter BDNF binding. Prevents BDNF-induced cold allodynia in mice. Also shown to exhibit putative anxiolytic properties in mice.

Constandil et al (2012) Cyclotraxin-B, a new TrkB antagonist, and glial blockade by propentofylline, equally prevent and reverse cold allodynia induced by BDNF or partial infraorbital nerve constriction in mice. J.Pain 13 579 PMID:

Small volumes of Cyclotraxin B, inhibitor vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.

MBS5764063 is an inhibitor targeting Cyclotraxin B.
