Dihexa，即正己酸-酪氨酸-異亮氨酸-（6）氨基己酸酰胺（N-hexanoic-Tyr-ile-(6) aminohexanoic amide）。是由華盛頓州立大學(xué)研究人員開(kāi)發(fā)的一種小肽。

該成分是一種從血管緊張素4中的提取物。其對(duì)肝細(xì)胞生長(zhǎng)因子(hepatocyte growth factor/HGF),及其受體c-Met具有高結(jié)合親和力。

已經(jīng)發(fā)現(xiàn)，這種肽有七個(gè)數(shù)量級(jí)，比腦源性神經(jīng)營(yíng)養(yǎng)因子（brain-derived neurotrophic factor，BDNF）更有效。旨在幫助增強(qiáng)某些認(rèn)知功能，提高心理耐力，增強(qiáng)短期和長(zhǎng)期記憶能力。
