Semax / 10 Vial

Product Description

What is Semax?

Semax is a synthetic heptapeptide (7 amino acids; MW ≈ 813.9 Da) developed through academic research at the Institute of Molecular Genetics of the Russian Academy of Sciences. It is structurally derived from the ACTH 4-7 fragment with a C-terminal Pro-Gly-Pro extension. It is intended strictly for laboratory and research purposes.

Molecular & Structural Profile

Semax's Pro-Gly-Pro C-terminal extension provides enhanced resistance to enzymatic degradation compared to the native ACTH fragment. Unlike the parent ACTH molecule, Semax does not engage adrenocortical signaling pathways in laboratory studies — a property that distinguishes it pharmacologically and is the basis for ongoing comparative peptide research.

Areas of Active Scientific Investigation

Neuropeptide Research: Studies examining peptide pharmacokinetics and structural integrity in central nervous system cellular models.

Neurotrophic Factor Pathway Research: Investigations into BDNF and NGF expression pathways in cellular models.

Comparative Pharmacology: Studies examining Semax alongside related ACTH-derived peptides.

Structure-Activity Studies: Research into the molecular determinants of enzymatic stability.

Regulatory & Research Context

Semax is sold strictly for in vitro research and laboratory use only. It is not intended for human or veterinary use, consumption, or application of any kind. It is not approved by the FDA to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or condition. Not for use in any living organism.
