Abstract
A novel neurotrophin-3 loop 4 dipeptide mimetic, bis(N-γ-hydroxybutyryl-L-glutamyl-L-asparagine) hexamethylenedi-amide (GTS-302), was designed and synthesized. Compound GTS-302 activated the tyrosine kinase receptors TrkC and TrkB, exhibited cytoprotective activity (10-8–10-5 M) in oxidative stress model in HT-22 cells and in 6-hydroxy-dopamine-induced SH-SY5Y cell damage. It also demon- strated an antidepressant-like activity in the forced swim test in mice (0.5–10.0 mg kg–1, intraperitoneally).
