Semax is a synthetic heptapeptide, a derivative of the ACTH (4-10) fragment, developed in the 1980s at the Russian Academy of Sciences. Since its inception, the molecule has been the subject of extensive academic literature – appearing in over 150 independent publications in the PubMed database. It belongs to a group of synthetic neuropeptides derived from a natural pituitary sequence, which are the subject of research in the field of neurochemistry.
In academic literature, Semax most frequently appears in the context of neurochemical research and cognitive neuroscience – as a subject for examining mechanisms at the receptor and signaling pathway level. Scientific teams study it in in-vitro models focused on neuropharmacological interactions.
In the laboratory, it is used as a reference analytical standard – for HPLC calibration, mass spectrometry (LC-MS), and comparative binding experiments. Cerebrotech supplies it as a lyophilized powder in a glass vial with a Certificate of Analysis (COA), with HPLC-verified purity ≥ 98%. A mass spectrum is available upon request for each batch.
A compatible solvent for reconstitution – bacteriostatic water – is available separately in our catalog. The product is intended exclusively for laboratory in-vitro research, biochemical analysis, and academic purposes. It is not a medicine, dietary supplement, or cosmetic product. It is not intended for human or animal consumption, application to the body surface, ingestion, or inhalation. Sale is contingent upon age 18+ verification.
