Semax

Research compound supplied in Australia by Pulse Biolabs for laboratory use. Available in 10mg.

Pulse Research // 008  ·  ACTH-fragment neuropeptide

Semax is a short piece of ACTH with a tail added. Research asks whether the fragment can act on nerve cells without acting on the adrenal glands.

Semax is a synthetic seven-amino-acid peptide, Met-Glu-His-Phe-Pro-Gly-Pro: residues 4 to 7 of the stress hormone ACTH with a Pro-Gly-Pro tail added to slow breakdown. It is studied for whether a hormone fragment can raise BDNF, a protein that supports nerve-cell survival and adaptation, without the hormone's effect on the adrenal glands. The evidence is mainly from rats, with Russian clinical studies in stroke patients that lack described blinding or placebo control.
