About Semax
Semax is a synthetic heptapeptide with the sequence Met-Glu-His-Phe-Pro-Gly-Pro. Its first four amino acids come from adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), and the added Pro-Gly-Pro sequence makes it more resistant to enzymatic breakdown.
Canada Research Labs supplies Semax as 10mg of lyophilized powder in a 3 mL glass vial, packed and shipped from Ontario.
See our Semax research overview and the comparison Selank vs Semax.
Research background
Semax was developed at the Russian Academy of Sciences as an analog of the ACTH(4-10) fragment, designed to keep activity studied in that fragment without the hormonal effects of full-length ACTH. Like Selank, most of its research comes from Russian groups, and much of it is published in Russian-language journals.
Preclinical work has examined Semax in rodent models of cerebral ischemia and in studies of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) expression and neurotrophic signaling. Researchers should review the primary literature directly, keeping in mind that much of it has not been independently replicated outside the originating groups.
