Dihexa 10mg

Dihexa, also known as N-hexanoic-Tyr-Ile-(6) aminohexanoic amide, or its developmental code name PNB-0408, is a synthetic oligopeptide derived from angiotensin IV. It binds with high affinity to hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and interacts with its receptor, c-Met.

The molecular formula of Dihexa is C27H44N4O5, with a molar mass of 504.672 g·mol−1.

Dihexa consists of two hydrophobic amino acids—Tyr-Ile—with the full sequence as follows: Hexanoyl-Tyr-Ile-Ahx-NH₂.

Solubility Information

Solubility: Dihexa is hydrophobic and poorly soluble in water; DMSO is the solvent reported in the literature.

Reported solubility data:

• Dihexa dissolves well in DMSO at a concentration of 1mg/ml.

This solubility profile influences the format in which Dihexa is supplied for research. Researchers intending to work with the lyophilised version should ensure access to DMSO or a similar solvent for proper handling.

Storage Guidelines

Store the lyophilised peptide at -20°C. Once reconstituted, use it immediately or store it at 2–8°C for a short duration. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
