Description and specifications
Description
Semax is a synthetic heptapeptide derived from a fragment of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH 4-7), extended with Pro-Gly-Pro for increased stability. In research models, the peptide is studied for its role in neuroprotection, BDNF expression and cognitive processes. Supplied as a lyophilised powder for laboratory use. For research use only (in vitro / laboratory use). Not for consumption, diagnostic or therapeutic use.
Research summary
Semax is a synthetic peptide – a short chain of seven amino acids – derived from a small fragment of the natural hormone ACTH. It was developed in Russia in the 1980s, and much of the research is published in Russian. Researchers have primarily investigated Semax in relation to the brain: nerve protection, memory and attention, and recovery after stroke. The substance is sold here for research use only, and the text below describes what studies have explored – not health claims.
Level of evidence: Much of the research on Semax comes from Russian research groups and is published in Russian. The human studies are usually small, and several lack randomisation and placebo control, which makes the results less robust. Most of the mechanistic knowledge is based on animal experiments (rats). Outside Russia, Semax has been little studied, and it is not approved as a medicine in most countries. The content here is intended for research purposes only.

In animal experiments, researchers see that Semax can affect the level of nerve growth factors in the brain, particularly a signalling substance called BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor) and its receptor TrkB. These molecules are involved in how nerve cells grow, survive and form new connections. In models of oxygen deprivation (ischaemia), the peptide has also been studied for how it affects genes linked to inflammation and blood vessels. Exactly how Semax works in humans has still not been fully mapped.
What is being researched?
- Recovery and nerve function after ischaemic stroke (studies in humans and animals)
- BDNF and other nerve growth factors in the brain (mainly animal studies)
- Attention, short-term memory and the brain's resting-state network (smaller human studies)
- Nerve protection in oxygen deprivation and inflammation (animal models)
- Diseases of the optic nerve, including glaucoma (smaller clinical studies)
