Research overview
Dihexa is an oligopeptide derived from angiotensin IV. It binds hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) with high affinity and enhances HGF activity at the c-Met receptor. It has been studied in animal models of Alzheimer’s-like cognitive impairment, and a phosphate prodrug of dihexa has entered clinical trials for neurodegenerative disease.
Research areas
