Description
Dihexa, also known as N-hexanoic-Tyr-Ile- (6) aminohexanoic amide, is a synthetic peptide derived from angiotensin IV. It was developed by researchers at Washington State University with the goal of improving cognitive functions and treating neurodegenerative disorders.
Mechanism of action: Dihexa binds with high affinity to hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and enhances its activity at the c-Met receptor. This interaction stimulates the growth of neurons and the formation of synaptic connections in the brain, which may lead to improved cognitive functions.
Applications: Preclinical studies have shown that Dihexa has potential in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. It promotes synaptogenesis and may improve cognitive functions in animal models with Alzheimer’s-like symptoms.
