Research Applications

Neurological Enhancement and Repair

Dihexa shows promise in several areas of neurological enhancement:

  • Creates new neural connections at a rate 7 times greater than BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor)
  • Promotes dendritic spine formation
  • Enhances synaptic density

Alzheimer's Disease

Dihexa is primarily being researched as a potential treatment for Alzheimer's disease. Research has shown that it:

  • Exhibits excellent antidementia activity in scopolamine and aged rat models
  • Rescues cognitive impairment and recovers memory in APP/PS1 mouse models
  • Increases synaptic connectivity, which is crucial for treating Alzheimer's disease
  • Works by activating the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway in the brain

Parkinson's Disease

Significant research is being conducted on Dihexa's potential for:

  • Preventing the development of Parkinson-like symptoms
  • Improving motor function, as demonstrated by enhanced rope hang times and stride length in animal studies

Additional Medical Applications

Research has expanded to include:

  1. Protection of sensory cells:
  • Protects lateral line hair cells from aminoglycoside ototoxicity
  1. Nerve repair:
  • Shows promise as an adjunct therapy for promoting limb functional recovery after surgical nerve repair
  1. Traumatic conditions:
  • Being investigated for stroke recovery
  • Potential applications in traumatic brain injury treatment

Mechanism of Action

Dihexa functions through multiple pathways:

  • Acts as a hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) mimetic
  • Facilitates dimerization and availability at c-Met receptors
  • Demonstrates anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic effects through the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway

Sun et al. (2021) conducted research examining Dihexa's effects on cognitive function and memory in mouse models. Their study demonstrated that Dihexa successfully restored spatial learning and cognitive functions through the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.

Weiss et al. (2021) investigated Dihexa's potential in promoting limb function recovery following nerve damage. Their experimental animal studies combined Dihexa with stem cells and other factors, demonstrating promising results for peripheral nerve repair.

Ho and Nation (2018) conducted a comprehensive systematic review examining the cognitive benefits of angiotensin IV and its analogs, including Dihexa.
