Description: Dihexa (PNB-0408, N-hexanoic-Tyr-Ile-(6) aminohexanoic amide) is a novel, potent, oral, brain-permeable oligopeptide drug derived from angiotensin IV that binds with high affinity (Kd = 65 pM) to hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and potentiates its activity at its receptor, c-Met. Dihexa has been found to potently improve cognitive function in animal models of Alzheimer's disease-like mental impairment. In an assay of neurotrophic activity, Dihexa was found to be seven orders of magnitude more potent than brain-derived neurotrophic factor.

ProtocolIn VitroDihexa (PNB-0408, N-hexanoic-Tyr-Ile-(6) aminohexanoic amide) is a novel, potent, oral, brain-permeable oligopeptide drug derived from angiotensin IV that binds with high affinity (Kd = 65 pM) to hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and potentiates its activity at its receptor, c-Met. Both dihexa and its parent compound Norleucine 1-AngIV induce c-Met phosphorylation in the presence of subthreshold concentrations of HGF and augment HGF-dependent cell scattering. Further, dihexa and Nle1-AngIV induce hippocampal spinogenesis and synaptogenesis similar to HGF itself. Dihexa effectively inhibits HGF dimerization at 1 μM. While dihexa at 1 nM and 10 pM alone does not activate c-Met, it markedly augments the capacity of HGF at 1.25 and 2.5 ng/mL to activate c-Met[1].
In VivoDihexa has a long circulating half-life. Dihexa exhibits procognitive activity. Dihexa reverses scopolamine-dependent spatial learning deficits. It improves spatial learning in aged rats. Dihexa induces spinogenesis in cultured hippocampal neurons[2].

Working concentration: mg/ml;
Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in µL DMSO(Master liquid concentration mg/mL) ,Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug.
Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take µL DMSO master liquid, next add µL PEG300, mix and clarify, next add µL Tween 80,mix and clarify, next add µL ddH2O,mix and clarify.
Note:
  • (1) Please be sure that the solution is clear before the addition of next solvent. Dissolution methods like vortex, ultrasound or warming and heat may be used to aid dissolving.
  • (2) Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order.
