Cyclotraxin B

Cyclotraxin B (CTX-B) is a small (1200 Da) cyclic peptide and highly potent, selective, non-competitive antagonist or negative allosteric modulator of TrkB (IC50  = 0.30 nM),[1][2] the main receptor of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which itself was derived from BDNF.[1][3] It crosses the blood-brain-barrier with systemic administration and produces anxiolytic-like effects in animals, though notably not antidepressant-like effects.[1][4] The compound has also been found to produce analgesic effects in animal models of neuropathic pain.[5] In addition to TrkB, CTX-B has been found to be an allosteric modulator of VEGFR2, one of the receptors of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF).[2]
