Research overview

Semax is a synthetic heptapeptide consisting of the ACTH fragment 4–7 (Met-Glu-His-Phe) extended with Pro-Gly-Pro. Developed in Russia, it has a substantial literature in rodent models of cerebral ischemia and in studies of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) expression.

Supplied for neuroscience research on melanocortin-related signaling, neurotrophin expression and cognitive-behavioral models.

Areas of published research

  • BDNF and TrkB expression studies
  • Cerebral ischemia and neuroprotection models
  • Attention and memory behavioral assays in rodents

The list above summarises where this compound appears in the scientific literature. It describes research activity, not properties or effects of any product sold here.

Storage and handling

  • Lyophilized vials: store at −20 °C for long-term storage, or 2–8 °C for up to several weeks. Keep sealed and protected from light.
  • Allow the vial to reach room temperature before opening, so moisture does not condense on the cold powder.
  • After reconstitution with bacteriostatic water, store at 2–8 °C and use within 28 days. Avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles.
  • Add diluent slowly down the inside wall of the vial and swirl gently; do not shake.
