Abstract
In this paper we explore the Lie enveloping algebra of a post-Lie algebra derived from a classical $R$-matrix. An explicit exponential solution of the corresponding Lie bracket flow is presented. It is based on the solution of a post-Lie Magnus-type differential equation.

Key words: isospectral flow equation; $R$-matrix; Magnus expansion; post-Lie algebra.
