Semax

Semax in Laboratory Research

Semax is a seven-residue peptide modelled on the 4-10 fragment of ACTH and modified for stability. It carries none of the corticotropic activity of the parent hormone, which is what allows it to be used as a clean neurological research tool.

In controlled laboratory environments it is applied as a defined probe of neurotrophin signalling.

Research Applications & Study Focus

Studies involving Semax examine BDNF and NGF expression in hippocampal tissue, performance in cognitive-assay models, and neuroprotective signalling following ischemic or oxidative challenge.

Consistent lot specification supports reproducible neurotrophin and neuroprotection endpoints across repeated experiments.

Purity, Handling & Verification

Each batch is supplied as a sealed, lyophilized vial and is independently analysed by a third-party laboratory using HPLC and mass spectrometry; the full certificate of analysis is published against its lot number, so results can be verified before use. Store the lyophilized material cool, dry and out of direct light, and reconstitute with bacteriostatic water under standard aseptic laboratory practice.
