Semax

Semax is a synthetic heptapeptide (Met-Glu-His-Phe-Pro-Gly-Pro) derived from the ACTH(4-10) fragment. In research lab settings, it has been observed to modulate neurotrophic and neuromodulatory activity by influencing brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) expression. Semax exhibits antioxidative properties, enhances dopaminergic and serotonergic system activity, and demonstrates potential in regulating cerebral circulation and metabolic homeostasis under stress conditions. Its nootropic-like effects in test subjects suggest relevance for studying mechanisms of cognitive and neural resilience.
