| Targets |
TrkB (tropomyosin-related kinase B). HIOC is a potent and selective activator of the TrkB receptor, which belongs to the neurotrophin receptor family. By activating TrkB and downstream ERK signaling, HIOC promotes neuronal survival, reduces apoptosis, and provides neuroprotection. HIOC crosses the blood-brain barrier and the blood-retinal barrier, making it suitable for central nervous system and retinal applications. It has shown protective activity in animal models of retinal degeneration.

|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
HIOC activates the TrkB/ERK pathway and reduces neuronal cell death in vitro. As a TrkB activator, it mimics the neurotrophic effects of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) but is a small molecule that can cross biological barriers. The specific potency (EC50) for TrkB activation is not detailed in the reference sources, but HIOC is described as a potent and selective activator. HIOC reduces early brain damage after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) in animal models.
|
| ln Vivo |
The survival rate of RGC (retinal ganglion cells) following ONC (optic nerve crush) can be increased by HIOC (C57BL/6 mice, 50 mg/kg, IP, three times a week for two weeks) [3].
HIOC has been shown to attenuate early brain injury following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) in animal models. It also shows protective activity in an animal model of light-induced retinal degeneration. By activating TrkB/ERK signaling and reducing neuronal cell death, HIOC provides neuroprotection in these disease models. The compound crosses the blood-brain and blood-retinal barriers, enabling its effects on CNS and retinal tissues. |
| Enzyme Assay |
Not explicitly detailed in reference sources. A typical TrkB activation assay involves incubating recombinant TrkB protein with HIOC and measuring receptor autophosphorylation using an anti-phospho-TrkB antibody in an ELISA or TR-FRET format. Alternatively, a cell-based assay uses TrkB-expressing cells treated with HIOC, followed by Western blot detection of phospho-TrkB and downstream signaling molecules (p-ERK).
|
| Cell Assay |
Not explicitly detailed in reference sources. A cell-based TrkB activation assay uses SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells or primary cortical neurons expressing TrkB. Cells are treated with HIOC at various concentrations for 15-60 minutes. TrkB phosphorylation at tyrosine 515/816 and ERK phosphorylation are measured by Western blot. Neuronal survival is assessed by measuring apoptosis (caspase-3 activation) or by counting viable neurons after exposure to toxic stimuli.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In the light-induced retinal degeneration model, animals are exposed to intense light to induce retinal damage. HIOC is administered (e.g., intraperitoneally or orally) before or after light exposure, and retinal function is assessed by electroretinography. Retinal histology and photoreceptor cell counts are analyzed. In the SAH model, HIOC is administered after inducing subarachnoid hemorrhage, and early brain injury is assessed by neurological scores, brain edema, and neuronal apoptosis.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
HIOC has a molecular weight of 301.34 and formula C16H19N3O3. It can cross the blood-brain barrier and blood-retinal barrier. For in vivo formulation, co-solvent systems (e.g., DMSO, Tween 80, and saline) can be used. Storage should be at -20degC as powder; in lyophilized form, it is stable for up to 36 months. In solution, it should be stored at -20degC and used within 1 month to prevent loss of potency.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
No detailed toxicity data for HIOC are provided in the reference sources. In the animal models studied, HIOC was administered at doses sufficient for neuroprotective effects without reported overt toxicity. However, comprehensive safety studies would be required for clinical development. The compound is for research use only.

| Additional Infomation |
HIOC is a research compound not yet approved for clinical use. It is a valuable tool for studying TrkB receptor biology and for validating TrkB activation as a therapeutic strategy for neurodegenerative and retinal diseases. By mimicking BDNF neurotrophic effects with a small molecule that can cross the blood-brain barrier, HIOC offers advantages over BDNF itself for therapeutic development. The compound is protected by patents.
