Description

Semax is a synthetic neuropeptide derived from adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) recognized for its nootropic and neuroprotective properties in research models. It modulates the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and other neurotrophins, supporting neuroplasticity and cognitive function. Research has explored its effects on memory enhancement, attention, neuroprotection following ischemic events, and its role in modulating serotonergic and dopaminergic neurotransmitter systems.
