Product Information

Dihexa | Angiotensin IV Analogue — Research Grade

Dihexa (PNB-0408) is a brain-penetrant small molecule derived from angiotensin IV with high affinity for the AT4 receptor (IRAP, insulin-regulated aminopeptidase). It was developed at Washington State University and has been characterised as an exceptionally potent synaptogenic compound in preclinical models.

Mechanism of Action

  • AT4/IRAP inhibition — binds and inhibits IRAP, increasing local concentration of endogenous neuropeptides including oxytocin and vasopressin at synaptic sites
  • HGF/c-Met signalling — activates hepatocyte growth factor receptor (c-Met) in hippocampal neurons, a pathway critical for synaptogenesis
  • Synapse formation — preclinical data report synaptogenic potency approximately 10 million-fold greater than BDNF in hippocampal neuron models
  • BBB penetration — lipophilic structure allows oral bioavailability and CNS access in rodent models

Research Areas

Dihexa is studied in Alzheimer disease models, cognitive decline, traumatic brain injury, and synaptogenesis research. Its extreme potency in preclinical synaptogenesis assays makes it a high-interest compound in neuroplasticity research.
