Research Handling Note:
Allow sealed vials to reach ambient laboratory temperature before opening, to prevent condensation forming inside the vial. Store sealed vials at -20°C, protected from light and moisture. All handling and laboratory procedures are determined by the receiving laboratory under its own protocols.

Certificate of analysis
Dihexa, also known as N-hexanoic-Tyr-Ile-(6) aminohexanoic amide, or its developmental code name PNB-0408, is a synthetic oligopeptide derived from angiotensin IV. It binds with high affinity to hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and interacts with its receptor, c-Met.
The molecular formula of Dihexa is C27H44N4O5, with a molar mass of 504.672 g·mol−1.
Dihexa consists of two hydrophobic amino acids—Tyr-Ile—with the full sequence as follows: Hexanoyl-Tyr-Ile-Ahx-NH2.
Solubility Information
Solubility: Dihexa is hydrophobic and poorly soluble in water; DMSO is the solvent reported in the literature.
Reported solubility data:
- Dihexa dissolves well in DMSO at a concentration of 1mg/ml.
This solubility profile influences the format in which Dihexa is supplied for research. Researchers intending to work with the lyophilised version should ensure access to DMSO or a similar solvent for proper handling.
Storage Guidelines
Store the lyophilised peptide at -20°C. Once reconstituted, use it immediately or store it at 2–8°C for a short duration. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

Why Choose UK Peptides for Dihexa 10mg in the UK?
UK Peptides has supplied research-grade peptides to the UK scientific community since 2012. We work directly with our manufacturing partner rather than through third-party resellers, so every batch of Dihexa 10mg is tested before it reaches your freezer, and consistency carries from one order to the next. Orders placed before 3pm are dispatched the same day, with tracked next-day delivery available across the UK.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Dihexa 10mg intended for human use?
No. It is sold strictly for in-vitro laboratory research and is not a medicine, supplement, or food product.
What form does Dihexa 10mg ship in?
As a sealed, lyophilised (freeze-dried) vial, the standard form for stable storage and transport of research peptides.
What purity standard does this batch meet?
See the specification list above for this product's confirmed purity and batch details.
Quality Control at Every Batch:
Every batch of Dihexa 10mg that reaches our freezer has already been through our manufacturing partner's own analytical verification before dispatch, checking identity and purity against the specification shown above. Peptides are inherently sensitive to heat, light, and moisture, so batches are kept in temperature-controlled storage from the point they arrive with us until they are picked, packed, and dispatched — the same cold-chain discipline we ask researchers to continue once a vial reaches their own laboratory.
Does this come with a Certificate of Analysis?
Where a Safety Data Sheet or Certificate of Analysis is available for Dihexa 10mg, it can be accessed from this product page; see the Safety Data Sheet tab above if present for this item.
Explore More Research Peptides:
Dihexa 10mg is one entry in our full peptide catalogue, alongside related compounds such as Ipamorelin 5mg. Researchers cross-referencing compound data for their own records may also find the NCBI PubChem database, a free public compound reference maintained by the US National Library of Medicine, a useful independent source alongside the specification listed above.
As with the rest of our peptide catalogue, the specification, pricing, and stock status shown above for Dihexa 10mg reflect what we actually hold and can dispatch — not a generic datasheet figure. If you need confirmation of a specific batch detail before ordering, our team can check it for you directly.
Ordering, Payment and Delivery:
Dihexa 10mg can be ordered directly through this page using either of our two secure payment methods: cryptocurrency via NOWPayments, or a manual Bank Transfer processed once funds clear. Orders are held pending payment and are dispatched the same working day once confirmed, provided the order is placed before our 3pm cut-off; orders confirmed after that point go out the next working day. Each order can be tracked from your account or via our dedicated order-status lookup tool, without needing to create an account first. If anything about delivery timing, packaging, or payment confirmation is unclear for your specific order, our customer service team is reachable directly through the Contact page and will confirm it before you need to chase it yourself.
