Semax is a neuroactive heptapeptide derived from ACTH(4-7). It is researched for nootropic-like activity, BDNF/NGF upregulation, and neuroprotection in in-vitro and animal models.
Also referred to as: Semax acetate, ACTH(4-7) analog, heptapeptide Semax.
Semax is a synthetic heptapeptide based on the ACTH(4-7) fragment, extended with a C-terminal Pro-Gly-Pro sequence for stability. Because it derives from a corticotropin fragment but lacks the full hormone, it carries no significant adrenal-stimulating activity. This seven-residue neuroactive peptide is characterized in research by its ACTH-fragment origin and stabilized sequence.
Semax is investigated in in-vitro and animal models for nootropic-like activity, upregulation of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and nerve growth factor (NGF), and neuroprotective signaling. Researchers characterize its influence on neurotrophin expression and neuronal survival pathways in cultured systems, treating these as preclinical mechanistic observations within controlled non-human research.
The native ACTH(4-7) fragment is short-lived and retains links to the corticotropin hormone family. Semax adds a Pro-Gly-Pro extension that confers enzymatic stability while dissociating the peptide from adrenal-axis activity. In comparative research, this makes Semax a longer-acting neuroactive tool focused on neurotrophic signaling rather than hormonal stimulation.
Yes. Every batch of Semax is independently tested by HPLC and mass spectrometry, and ships with a lot-specific Certificate of Analysis verifying 99.3% purity and molecular identity.
Store lyophilized Semax at -20°C for long-term storage or 2-8°C short-term. After reconstitution, keep refrigerated at 2-8°C and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
No. Semax is sold strictly for in-vitro research and laboratory use only. It is not a drug or supplement and is not intended for human or animal consumption.
