Synthetic ACTH(4-10) analogue developed for neurological research.

Overview

Semax is a synthetic heptapeptide analogue of ACTH(4-10), developed at a Moscow research institute in the 1980s for stroke and cognitive impairment research. The hormonal activity of the parent fragment is engineered out and a Pro-Gly-Pro tail added to resist degradation.

Research applications

  • BDNF upregulation
  • Memory consolidation in research models
  • Neuroprotection following ischaemic events
  • Dopaminergic and serotonergic modulation
  • Neuronal growth and synaptic plasticity

Mechanism of action

Acts on melanocortin receptors and markedly upregulates brain-derived neurotrophic factor, the protein governing neuron growth, maintenance and synaptic plasticity. It also modulates the enkephalin system and influences dopamine, serotonin and acetylcholine signalling.
