Overview

Dihexa is an AngIV analogue proposed to be procognitive and synaptogenic via the HGF/c-Met axis. It binds HGF and facilitates c-Met receptor engagement, associated with synaptogenesis in preclinical literature. In vitro potency is reported but long-term human safety is not established. High counterfeit risk in the nootropic peptide market.
