Originally investigated as a potential treatment for Alzheimers disease, Dihexa demonstrates potent ability to enhance synaptic connections and promote neuronal survival through modulation of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and its receptor c-Met, which play crucial roles in brain development and neuronal health
It means examining pharmacokinetics, receptor binding affinity, clinical trial data, titration protocols, and real-world tolerability
