Overview+

Semax is a synthetic peptide derived from a fragment of ACTH. Research focuses on its role in neuroprotection, BDNF expression, and cognitive-function signaling, with particular attention to how quickly it can influence neurotrophin activity in the brain.

History+

Developed at the Institute of Molecular Genetics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Semax was characterized for its rapid upregulation of neurotrophins and studied in cerebral-ischemia and cognitive models. It is a registered medicine in Russia, and much of its research base comes from work on stroke and neuroprotection in Eastern European laboratories.

Research findings+

Semax has been studied in neurological models for BDNF and NGF upregulation, neuroprotective signaling, and effects in cerebral-ischemia and stroke paradigms. The link to neurotrophin signaling is the central research theme, since its reported effect on BDNF and NGF connects a short ACTH-derived fragment to broader neuroprotective activity. That combination is what makes it a recurring tool in cognitive and cerebral-ischemia research.

Key areas of research
  • Neurological: Neuroprotection, cognitive signaling
  • Signaling: BDNF/NGF neurotrophin pathways
  • Systemic: Cerebral-ischemia models

Frequently asked questions

What's the actual amount in each vial?+
Each vial contains the labeled mass of lyophilized peptide. Selected sizes appear above the price.
Are additional supplies needed?+
Reconstitution requires bacteriostatic water and appropriate sterile research labware – not included.
How long does a vial last?+
Sealed lyophilized vials are stable at −20°C for 24 months. Once reconstituted, store at 2–8°C and use within 28 days.
Does the product come with instructions?+
Each shipment includes the batch-specific Certificate of Analysis and recommended handling protocol.
What purity level is guaranteed?+
≥ 99% by reverse-phase HPLC (UV-220nm), confirmed via ESI-TOF mass spectrometry.
How should I store these products?+
Store sealed vials at −20°C, protected from light. Reconstituted solutions at 2–8°C.
What are peptides and how do they work?+
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that occur naturally in organisms, where they act as messengers in many biological systems. While some peptides have been developed for medical use, laboratory research focuses on understanding their activity at the cellular level, examining how they impact essential processes in vitro.
Do these products come with instructions?+
Products from Fast Track Labs are supplied without usage instructions, as they are designated solely for in vitro laboratory research and prohibited by law for human or animal consumption. Any misuse or unlawful application of these products will result in permanent denial of service.
How long do products take to deliver?+
Orders are typically processed and shipped within 24 hours, Monday through Saturday. Delivery times vary by location, but most domestic orders arrive within 3–5 business days. You'll receive tracking information as soon as your order ships.
