Semax is a synthetic heptapeptide developed in Russian neuropeptide research, derived from the ACTH(4-10) fragment of adrenocorticotropic hormone with N-terminal modifications. In research it is studied for neurotrophic, nootropic, and BDNF pathway mechanisms in rodent models. Supplied strictly for Research Use Only.
Both are synthetic Russian-developed neuropeptides but with different sequences and target profiles. Semax is derived from ACTH(4-10) and is primarily studied for nootropic and neuroprotective mechanisms. Selank is derived from tuftsin and is primarily studied for anxiolytic-like and immunomodulatory mechanisms in research models.
Semax is studied in preclinical research on BDNF expression, NGF signaling, dopaminergic and cholinergic neurotransmission, learning and memory model systems, and neuroprotection in rodent stroke models. All cited studies are conducted in cellular or rodent systems.
