Semax
Also known as: ACTH(4-10) analog
Semax is a synthetic heptapeptide derived from a fragment of the ACTH hormone. It is studied in preclinical neuroscience research, particularly for its reported interactions with neurotrophic signaling in rodent models.
View Semax product →What is Semax?
Semax is a synthetic peptide of seven amino acids based on the ACTH(4-10) fragment, modified for stability. It was developed in Russia, where much of the foundational research literature originates.
It is studied as a neuropeptide research tool and is one of the more established compounds in preclinical cognition-related research.
How Semax is studied
In rodent-model research, investigators have examined Semax in relation to brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and other neurotrophic signaling, as well as markers associated with neuroprotection.
These are laboratory observations describing measured signaling changes in animal models, not effects demonstrated in humans.
Research applications in the literature
Published preclinical studies have investigated Semax in models relevant to learning, memory, and neuroprotection, typically as a probe for neuropeptide and neurotrophic pathways.
It is often studied alongside related short neuropeptides used in cognition research.
Handling, reconstitution & storage
Semax is supplied lyophilized and stored at -20°C, sealed and protected from light.
For research use it is reconstituted with bacteriostatic or sterile water and held at 4°C short-term or aliquoted at -80°C. Every lot includes a certificate of analysis with HPLC purity verification.
