Semax — 5 mg
Semax is a synthetic heptapeptide analog of ACTH 4-10, developed in Russia where it has been studied for nootropic applications. It lacks hormonal activity and has been the subject of research examining neurotrophic factor expression.
Published Research
- Research published in Russian pharmacology journals documented that Semax increases BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor) expression in rat hippocampus and cortex following intranasal administration.
- Studies have examined Semax's effects on attention, memory, and learning processes in various experimental models, with researchers noting modulation of dopaminergic and serotonergic systems.
- Research has documented Semax's favorable safety profile with minimal reported adverse effects in clinical observations conducted in Russia.
- Studies have examined potential neuroprotective properties in various experimental stress and injury models.
Mechanism of Action
Semax is proposed to influence BDNF signaling and modulate melanocortin receptor activity without affecting cortisol levels. Research suggests involvement in attention and cognitive processing pathways.
