Semax

Description

Semax — ACTH(4-10) Heptapeptide Analogue

Semax is a synthetic heptapeptide analogue of the N-terminal fragment of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH 4-10), supplied for in vitro laboratory research only.

Research context

Preclinical literature has examined Semax in cell-culture and animal models of BDNF and NGF expression, dopaminergic and serotonergic receptor signalling, and monoamine turnover. Investigators use it in receptor-binding assays, HPLC analysis of catecholamine and indoleamine metabolites, and rodent behavioural-pharmacology model systems designed to probe neurotrophic signalling pathways. Reported study designs also include enzyme-linked immunoassays quantifying BDNF and NGF protein expression in cortical and hippocampal tissue samples, alongside electrophysiological recordings examining synaptic transmission in ex vivo brain-slice preparations. As an ACTH-fragment analogue, Semax is also referenced in comparative pharmacology literature alongside related melanocortin-derived peptide fragments, with additional preclinical designs pairing chromatographic stability studies in biological matrices with gene-expression analyses of monoamine-synthesis enzymes in cultured neural tissue.
