Semax 10mg
Cognition
Overview
Semax 10mg is a synthetic peptide analogue supplied as a lyophilised powder for laboratory research use. It is selected within controlled environments for investigation into peptide structure, neuropeptide interaction, and signalling pathways.
Classification: Semax — a synthetic heptapeptide (Met-Glu-His-Phe-Pro-Gly-Pro) based on a fragment of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH4–7), developed at the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences.
Research background
Within laboratory settings, Semax is studied for its interaction with neuroregulatory pathways and peptide signalling systems. Research applications focus on receptor binding activity, peptide stability, and central nervous system pathway modelling under controlled experimental conditions.
This summary describes published preclinical and, where applicable, clinical research. It is not a medical claim and does not describe or endorse any human use of the compound as sold by Peptides UK 4U.
Mechanism of action (under investigation)
Published preclinical research investigates Semax as a modulator of central BDNF and NGF expression, dopaminergic and serotonergic neurotransmission, and neuroprotection markers in rodent models. Presented as research background only.
Laboratory handling
This product is typically reconstituted using bacteriostatic water or a suitable sterile solvent within a controlled laboratory setting. All handling should be carried out by qualified professionals using appropriate sterile techniques and safety procedures.
Storage & stability
- Store in a cool, dry environment before reconstitution.
- For extended stability, storage at -20°C is recommended.
- Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles after reconstitution.
For reconstitution volumes and target working concentrations use our peptide calculator. We do not publish dosing protocols for human use.

Frequently asked questions
What is Semax studied for in research?
Semax is a synthetic ACTH(4-10) fragment analogue investigated in vitro for its interaction with neuroregulatory pathways, BDNF-related signalling and central-nervous-system peptide research.
What purity is your Semax?
Every 10mg vial is tested to ≥98% purity by RP-HPLC. A batch-specific Certificate of Analysis is available on request.
How is Semax reconstituted and stored?
Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water in a sterile laboratory environment — see our peptide calculator for target concentrations. Store the reconstituted solution refrigerated at 2–8°C and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
How is Semax different from Selank?
Semax is derived from the ACTH(4-10) sequence, whereas Selank is a tuftsin analogue. They are frequently paired in cognition and neuropeptide research as complementary reference compounds.
