Semax is the synthetic heptapeptide Met-Glu-His-Phe-Pro-Gly-Pro, commonly described as ACTH(4-7)-Pro-Gly-Pro. The Pro-Gly-Pro extension distinguishes it from the native ACTH(4-7) fragment and contributes to its stability as a research peptide.
Laboratory studies examine Semax in neuroregulatory signaling, peptide degradation and stability, oxidative-stress responses, neurotrophin-associated pathways, and controlled neuronal or other cell-response models. These research areas do not establish safety or efficacy for any clinical use.
Supplied as 10 mg of lyophilized Semax. This material is not N-acetyl Semax, N-acetyl Semax amidate, or another modified analog; those derivatives have different molecular identities.
Research use only. Not for human or veterinary use. Not intended for diagnostic, therapeutic, cosmetic, food, drug, or consumption purposes.
