Semax 10 mg

Semax 10 mg — Heptapeptide Analog for Neuropeptide & Cognitive Research

Semax is a synthetic heptapeptide analog derived from the adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) fragment ACTH(4–10), with additional modifications to enhance stability. In preclinical and clinical research, Semax has been investigated for its effects on cerebral blood flow, neurotrophic-factor expression, cognitive performance, and neuroprotection under stress or ischemic conditions.

What It Is

Class: ACTH-derived neuropeptide analog

Glow Pura length: 7 amino acids (heptapeptide)

Research focus: Cognitive function, attention, learning/memory, and brain stress-response models.

Proposed Mechanisms (Preclinical)

Neurotrophic & Synaptic Effects: Investigated for upregulation of BDNF and other neurotrophic factors in brain tissue models. Explored for modulation of synaptic plasticity, learning, and memory markers in animal studies. Model-dependent impacts on gene-expression profiles linked to neuronal survival and adaptation.

Neuroprotection & Stress Response: Used in ischemia/hypoxia and oxidative-stress models to study potential neuroprotective signaling. Evaluated for effects on cerebral blood flow, antioxidant defenses, and inflammatory mediators. Research interest in cognitive performance under stress, fatigue, or high cognitive load conditions.

Selected Research Highlights

Cognitive & Attention Models: Semax has been studied in tasks assessing attention, learning, and memory as experimental endpoints.

Ischemic Brain Models: Experimental work includes models of cerebral ischemia/hypoxia with readouts such as infarct size, functional recovery, and neuronal survival markers.

Stress & Adaptation: Investigations examine behavioral and biochemical responses to acute and chronic stressors, with a focus on adaptation and resilience markers.
