Abstract

BDNF may represent a beneficial therapeutically agent against a variety of neurological and psychiatric disorders, but bad pharmacokinetics complicate its clinical use. This article focuses on the design and BDNF-like biological properties of low-molecular weight dimeric dipeptide mimetics of BDNF free of these disadvantages.
