What is 7,8-DHF?
7,8-Dihydroxyflavone is a natural flavone that activates TrkB, the receptor for BDNF. The catechol group on the A ring is needed for that activity.
It’s one of the best-known small-molecule TrkB agonists.

7,8-DHF in published research
Jang and colleagues reported in PNAS (2010) that 7,8-DHF activated TrkB in mouse brain and protected neurons.
Later rodent studies covered memory, mood and Alzheimer’s models.
You can find the papers on PubMed. We don’t make claims beyond what that literature reports.
Weighing and handling 7,8-DHF powder
Buying 7,8-DHF as a powder gives you full control. Weigh out exactly what your protocol calls for, make up your own solutions, or encapsulate it yourself.
For small amounts you’ll want a scale that reads to at least 0.01g, and ideally 0.001g. Our digital scale and micro scoops make it easier to get consistent measurements. Weigh onto clean weighing paper, and close the bag or jar straight after so the powder doesn’t pick up moisture.
Making a solution from 7,8-DHF powder
To make a stock solution, decide on the final volume and concentration first. For 30mL at 10mg/mL you’d weigh 300mg of 7,8-DHF, dissolve it in about 25mL of solvent, then top up to exactly 30mL.
Check the compound’s solubility in your chosen solvent before you start, and try a small test amount first. Store the finished solution in a labelled glass bottle.
Purity testing for 7,8-DHF
We test each batch of 7,8-DHF by LC-MS, which pairs liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry. The chromatography splits the sample into its components and the mass spectrometer identifies them, which tells you both identity and purity. This batch came in at 99% or higher.
Small differences between batches are normal, so write the batch number from the label into your records. If something looks wrong when your order arrives, like discoloured powder or a cloudy solution, set it aside and don’t use it.
Storing your 7,8-DHF
Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use a clean, dry scoop each time, and reseal the container straight away. Label anything you decant with the compound, amount and date, and keep it out of reach of children and pets.
Common questions about the 7,8-DHF powder
What can I dissolve 7,8-DHF powder in?
That depends on the compound’s solubility and your protocol. Check the solubility data for your solvent first, and test a small amount before making up a full batch.
What scale do I need?
One that reads to 0.01g at minimum, and 0.001g for very small amounts. Our pocket scale reads to 0.01g.
