Semax
Overview
Semax is a synthetic heptapeptide based on the ACTH(4-7) sequence (Met-Glu-His-Phe) with a Pro-Gly-Pro C-terminal extension to improve stability. Developed in Russia, it upregulates BDNF and NGF, modulates dopaminergic and serotonergic neurotransmission, and demonstrates neuroprotective effects in ischemia animal models. Russian clinical research has used intranasal doses in the 200–600 mcg range for cognitive and neuroprotective applications. Used clinically in Russia for stroke rehabilitation and cognitive impairment; limited independent replication outside Russian research. Consult a licensed physician before use.
