Dihexa Research Overview
Dihexa (N-hexanoic-Tyr-Ile-(6) aminohexanoic amide) is a nootropic peptide originally developed at Washington State University as a potential treatment for neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and traumatic brain injury. Unlike many cognitive enhancers that work by temporarily boosting neurotransmitter levels, Dihexa promotes long-term structural improvements in the brain.
Its mechanism involves acting as a potent hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) mimetic, binding to and activating the c-Met receptor. This signaling pathway plays a critical role in neuronal survival, differentiation, and synaptic plasticity. By enhancing HGF/c-Met activity, Dihexa facilitates synaptogenesis, effectively increasing the number and strength of connections between neurons.
Preclinical studies in animal models have shown that Dihexa can:
-
Improve learning and memory performance, even in models of cognitive decline,
-
Reverse cognitive deficits caused by disease or injury,
-
Promote neuronal repair and structural brain plasticity,
-
Exhibit extremely high potency (active in the picomolar range) without measurable toxicity.

Best Practices for Storing Peptides
To maintain the reliability of laboratory results, correct peptide storage is essential. Proper storage conditions help preserve peptide stability for years while protecting against contamination, oxidation, and breakdown. Although certain peptides are more sensitive than others, following these best practices will greatly extend their shelf life and structural integrity.
- Short-Term Storage (days to months): Keep peptides cool and protected from light. Temperatures below 4 °C (39 °F) are generally suitable. Lyophilized peptides often remain stable at room temperature for several weeks, but refrigeration is still preferred if use is not immediate.
- Long-Term Storage (months to years): Store peptides at –80 °C (–112 °F) for maximum stability. Avoid frost-free freezers, as defrost cycles can cause damaging temperature fluctuations.
- Minimize Freeze–Thaw Cycles: Repeated freezing and thawing accelerates degradation. Instead, divide peptides into aliquots before freezing.
Preventing Oxidation & Moisture Damage
Peptides can be compromised by exposure to moisture and air—especially immediately after removal from a freezer.
- Let the vial warm to room temperature before opening to prevent condensation.
- Keep containers sealed as much as possible, and if possible, reseal under a dry, inert gas such as nitrogen or argon.
- Amino acids like cysteine (C), methionine (M), and tryptophan (W) are particularly sensitive to oxidation.
Storing Peptides in Solution
Peptides in solution have a much shorter lifespan compared to lyophilized form and are prone to bacterial degradation.
- If storage in solution is unavoidable, use sterile buffers at pH 5–6.
- Prepare single-use aliquots to avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles.
- Most peptide solutions are stable for up to 30 days at 4 °C (39 °F), but sensitive sequences should remain frozen when not in use.
Containers for Peptide Storage
Select containers that are clean, intact, chemically resistant, and appropriately sized for the sample.
- Glass vials: offer clarity, durability, and chemical resistance.
- Plastic vials: polystyrene (clear but less resistant) or polypropylene (translucent but chemically resistant).
- Peptides shipped in plastic vials may be transferred to glass for long-term storage if desired.
Regenesis Peptide Storage Quick Tips
