Dihexa is an activator of the hepatocyte growth factor/c-Met (HGF/c-Met) system and an analog of the peptide angiotensin IV.{47455} It binds to HGF (Kd = 65 pM), inhibits HGF dimerization, and enhances activation of c-Met by HGF in HEK293 cells expressing c-Met. It increases the number of dendritic spines formed and increases the mean frequency of miniature excitatory post-synaptic currents (mEPSCs) in dissociated hippocampal neurons, effects that can be blocked by the HGF antagonist Hinge. Dihexa (2 mg/kg, i.p.) completely reverses scopolamine-induced learning deficits in the latency to find the platform and increases the time spent in the target quadrant in the Morris water maze in rats.{47456}
