Semax
A synthetic neuropeptide studied for neuroprotective and cognitive-performance endpoints.
View in catalog →Overview
Semax is a synthetic heptapeptide derived from a fragment of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH 4-10), developed in Russian research where it has a substantial neuropharmacology literature.
How it’s studied to work
Research associates Semax with increased expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and modulation of the nervous system’s monoamine and neurotrophin signalling.
