Semax is a synthetic peptide analog of the ACTH(4-10) fragment, originally developed and extensively studied in Russian research institutions. Research investigations have focused on its potential nootropic, neuroprotective, and neurorestorative properties, with studies examining its ability to rapidly increase brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels and modulate multiple neurotransmitter systems.
In research settings, Semax has been studied for its effects on cognitive function, memory, and attention. Investigations have examined its transport through the olfactory epithelium and trigeminal nerves, bypassing the blood-brain barrier for enhanced CNS penetration. Published studies have explored its potential role in stroke recovery, with research indicating effects on gene expression related to immune and vascular systems.
Supplied as a lyophilized powder for reconstitution. Intended for research purposes only.
