  • Different Dihexa dosing protocols produce distinct timelines and effect magnitudes. This table summarizes findings from published preclinical studies to guide protocol design.
  • 1.0
  • IP
  • 14 days
  • 62% reduction in Morris water maze latency (Harding 2014)
  • Day 14
  • Maintained at day 28
  • Optimal dose for spatial learning enhancement. Steep inverted-U curve
  • 4.0
  • 34% reduction in Morris water maze latency (Harding 2014)
  • Reduced by day 28
  • Diminishing returns at high dose. Lower efficacy than 1mg/kg
  • 0.5
  • 21 days
  • 68% novel object preference (TBI model, Peptides 2016)
  • Day 28
  • Not reported
  • Effective neuroprotective dose in injury models. Lower than cognition-only protocols
  • 3–5
  • Oral
  • Equivalent to ~1mg/kg IP (PK study 2015)
  • Day 14–21
  • Oral bioavailability ~25%. Requires 3–4× IP dose for equivalent exposure
  • 0.04
  • No measurable effect (Harding 2014)
  • N/A
  • Below threshold. C-Met activation insufficient for synaptogenesis
  • 7 days
  • Duration too short for structural remodeling. Requires ≥14 days
