Product Description
Semax is a synthetic heptapeptide (seven amino acids long) that is an analogue of a fragment of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), specifically ACTH (4-10), with modifications to enhance its stability and effects. Developed in Russia, Semax is designed as a neuroregulatory compound and is used extensively in research models to study cognitive enhancement and neuroprotection.
Scientific Research Applications
Semax is a primary research tool in neuroscience and pharmacology studies. It is utilized in laboratory settings to investigate mechanisms related to brain function, stress response, and neuronal resilience.
Key research areas include:
- Nootropic Effects: Research in animal models explores Semax's potential to enhance cognitive functions such as memory formation, attention, and learning capacity.
- Neuroprotection: Studies investigate its mechanisms in protecting neurons from damage caused by oxidative stress or ischemic events in experimental models.
- BDNF Regulation: Scientists research how Semax influences brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels, a key protein involved in neuronal growth, survival, and plasticity.
- Stress and Adaptation: Experimental studies examine Semax's role in modulating the stress response system and promoting adaptive behaviors in lab subjects.
