Overview
Semax is a synthetic heptapeptide analog derived from ACTH fragments, studied in Russian neuropharmacology literature for neurotrophic and neuroprotective model systems.
Key facts
Compound type: ACTH-derived heptapeptide analog
Form: Lyophilized powder
Appearance: White to off-white lyophilized material
Synonyms
ACTH(4-10) analog · MEHFPGP · Semax peptide
Research interest areas
Neuronal culture viability assays
BDNF expression panels
Ischemia-reperfusion models (preclinical)
Cognitive behavior models (rodent literature)
Storage information
2–8 °C (lyophilized, sealed)
2–8 °C for sealed lyophilized vials. Avoid freeze-thaw on prepared solutions unless validated in your workflow.
Stability notes
Lyophilized Semax is stable when sealed and cold-stored. Reconstituted solutions degrade faster — use documented short-term storage windows.
