SEMAX

Molecular Formula: C₃₇H₅₁N₉O₁₀S

Description: Semax is a synthetic heptapeptide derived from a fragment of the Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). In experimental research, it is classified as a nootropic signaling molecule. Laboratory studies focus on its capacity to increase the expression of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) and Nerve Growth Factor (NGF). Researchers utilize this compound to observe neuroprotective mechanisms and the modulation of mRNA expression within the hippocampus.
