Semax 5 mg — Research Consultation
Semax is a synthetic heptapeptide based on the ACTH(4-10) sequence with a C-terminal Pro-Gly-Pro stabilising tail. Published Russian-language and translated research describes effects on BDNF expression, neuroprotective signalling, and cognitive performance in animal-research and clinical-research models.
What Semax is
Semax (Met-Glu-His-Phe-Pro-Gly-Pro) is a synthetic seven-amino-acid peptide derived from the 4-10 fragment of adrenocorticotropic hormone, with a stabilising Pro-Gly-Pro extension that resists peptidase degradation. Developed at the Institute of Molecular Genetics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Semax has been studied in Russian clinical research for several decades.
What the published literature covers
Published research describes Semax effects on BDNF and NGF expression in rodent brain regions, neuroprotective activity in ischaemic-stroke animal models, dopaminergic and serotonergic pathway modulation, and cognitive performance in behavioural assays. Russian clinical research has explored Semax in cognitive-performance and stroke-recovery contexts.
Quality verification
Lyophilised Semax manufactured under ICH Q7 GMP standards, with independent HPLC verification at a US-based third-party laboratory. Peak-area purity ≥98% against pharmacopoeia reference standards. COA available through the in-chat consultation.
Common research questions
- Is Semax legal in the UAE?
- Semax is classified as a research compound in the UAE and is sold through standard wellness-supply channels with VAT compliance applied to every dispatch.
- What dose ranges does the published research describe?
- Russian clinical research has used intranasal Semax at 250-500 mcg daily. In the grey-research community, intranasal protocols of 200-600 mcg daily are common, with cycles of 10-14 days followed by a rest period.
- Semax vs. Selank — what is the difference?
- Both are stabilised C-terminal Pro-Gly-Pro analogues developed at the same Russian institute. Semax is ACTH(4-10)-derived and focused on neuroprotective and cognitive research. Selank is tuftsin-derived and focused on anxiolytic and immune-modulatory research.
- Is Semax delivered intranasally or by injection?
- Intranasal delivery is the most-described route in both the Russian clinical literature and grey-research community. Subcutaneous administration appears in some animal-research protocols.
- How is purity verified?
- HPLC peak-area purity (≥98%) at a US-based third-party laboratory. COA available through the chat.
- Shelf life and storage?
- Lyophilised powder is ambient-temperature stable in transit; -20°C long-term storage; refrigerated post-reconstitution per the supplied protocol.
- How fast is delivery in the UAE?
- Same-day delivery within Dubai, next-business-day across the rest of the UAE.
