Dihexa, or N-hexanoic-Tyr-Ile-(6) aminohexanoic amide, first known PNB-0408, is a novel nootropic compound and experimental drug that has been developed for possible treatment of trauma-based brain disorders and neurodegenerative conditions (i.e., Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s) that would compensate for arisen cognitive deficits through increased synaptogenesis.
It is an oligopeptide (small peptide) drug derived from angiotensin IV that binds with high affinity to hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), a neurotrophic agent in many brain regions, and potentiates its activity at its receptor, c-Met.
Studies in rats have shown its enormous potency as a neurotrophic agent, being up to ten million times stronger than BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor). Furthermore, dihexa possess neuroprotective properties, as other animal studies have demonstrated anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic effects of the drug.
Since this substance hasn’t been tested in humans, caution is advised when handling this extremely potent nootropic.
