Research overview
Semax is a synthetic heptapeptide, Met-Glu-His-Phe-Pro-Gly-Pro, developed in Moscow. Its first four residues come from adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), and the Pro-Gly-Pro tail protects it from rapid enzymatic breakdown, without the hormone's effect on the adrenal glands.
In rat studies, a single intranasal application raised hippocampal BDNF protein and trkB activation, linking Semax to neurotrophic signalling and learning-related behaviour. It contains methionine, which oxidises easily, so keep vials sealed, frozen and dark. Semax is also available as a ready-made nasal spray and in a blend with Selank. See Semax and Selank.

Questions
What is the sequence of Semax?
Met-Glu-His-Phe-Pro-Gly-Pro: an ACTH-derived fragment followed by the stabilising Pro-Gly-Pro tail.
How is Semax usually studied?
Mostly by intranasal application in rodent models, with readouts such as BDNF and trkB levels in the hippocampus.
What's in the vial?
Semax at the strength you choose. No diluent or accessories are included.
Can I check the lab report for my vial?
Yes. The batch number on your vial matches a report on this page or in our lab report library, with a link to verify it on the lab's website where available.
Is this product for human use?
No. It's sold for laboratory research use only and isn't for human or veterinary use.
