Overview

About Semax.

Semax is a 7-amino-acid synthetic analogue of an ACTH(4–10) fragment, developed in the 1980s by Russian neuropharmacologists. It is one of two major peptides (with Selank) in the Russian nootropic peptide tradition.

Russian clinical use includes stroke recovery, optic-nerve injury and cognitive enhancement. Translation to EU/Anglo-Saxon clinical literature is patchy but mechanistic data is well characterised.

Mechanism of action

Semax binds melanocortin receptors (MC4R) in the brain and rapidly upregulates BDNF and NGF expression in hippocampus and cortex. It also modulates monoaminergic neurotransmission and shows neuroprotective activity in ischemic models.
