Semax

The certificate is public.

Semax is a synthetic heptapeptide analog of Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH 4-10) with the sequence Met-Glu-His-Phe-Pro-Gly-Pro. It retains neurotrophic properties while lacking hormonal ACTH activity. N-acetyl variants (N-Acetyl Semax) are also studied in research.

01Research context

Semax is studied in cognitive neuroscience and neuroprotection research, with clinical use in Russia for stroke recovery. **Mechanism of Action (Research Context)**: - BDNF/NGF Upregulation: Rapidly triggers expression of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor and Nerve Growth Factor in hippocampus and frontal cortex within 3 hours of administration in research models - Neuroprotection: Protects neurons from oxidative stress and hypoxia in ischemic stroke models - Dopaminergic/Serotonergic Modulation: Increases turnover of dopamine and serotonin, relevant to focus and mood research **Research Applications**: Cognitive enhancement research, neuroplasticity studies, memory formation mechanisms, and neuronal survival pathways. **Drug Interaction Considerations**: Similar cautions as Selank regarding MAOIs/SSRIs due to monoamine modulation. **Regulatory Status**: Prescribed clinically in Russia for specific indications. Not FDA approved. For laboratory research applications in other jurisdictions.
