Semax is a synthetic heptapeptide derived from the 4-10 fragment of ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone), extended with a Pro-Gly-Pro sequence. Research has documented its ability to stimulate BDNF and NGF expression, with applications in neurotrophic signaling, stroke research, and cognitive function studies.
Research with Semax has revealed its capacity to upregulate BDNF and NGF, enhance dopaminergic and serotonergic activity, and confer neuroprotection in ischemia models, making it an important compound for neurotrophic peptide research.
Store lyophilized at -20°C, tightly sealed, away from heat, light and moisture. Once reconstituted, refrigerate at 2-8°C and use within 28 days.
Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water for multi-dose use (supports the 28-day refrigerated window), or an appropriate sterile diluent per your research protocol. Allow the vial to reach room temperature before reconstitution.
Stable for 18-36 months when stored lyophilized at -20°C or below, sealed and protected from light and moisture. Once reconstituted, use within 28 days refrigerated at 2-8°C.
