Semax (Met-Glu-His-Phe-Pro-Gly-Pro) is a synthetic heptapeptide analog of ACTH fragments 4-7 with a C-terminal Pro-Gly-Pro extension that confers metabolic stability and CNS penetration. With a molecular weight of 813.94 g/mol, it was developed at the Institute of Molecular Genetics of the Russian Academy of Sciences and has been studied in models of neuroprotection, neuroplasticity, and cognitive function for over three decades.
Research has examined Semax for its interactions with the BDNF pathway, VEGF upregulation in CNS tissue, dopaminergic signaling, and protection against ischemic brain injury. Its capacity to modulate gene expression in neuronal tissue, including genes involved in synaptic transmission and immune response, positions it as a multifaceted tool in neuroscience research.
