// 01About the compound
Semax is a 7-amino-acid research peptide derived from a fragment of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). Literature describes its blood-brain-barrier permeability and intranasal-delivery pharmacokinetics.
Published research examines Semax's role in BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor) upregulation and modulation of dopaminergic and serotonergic signalling pathways.
It is included in the Max Nutrition USA catalog as a current focus of neurotrophic and cognitive-pathway research literature.
// 02Mechanism — what the literature describes
Four pathways supporting cognition — neurotrophic, neurotransmitter, protective, regenerative.
02 / MODULATE
Monoamine-pathway research
Research examines modulation of dopaminergic and serotonergic signalling pathways.
03 / PROTECT
Neuroprotection research
Studies examine neuroprotective endpoints under oxidative and inflammatory challenge.
04 / OUTCOMES
Cognitive-endpoint research
Animal-model and clinical-research literature examines attention, learning, and memory endpoints.
// 03Research focus areas
Attention-pathway research
Studies examine attention and executive-function endpoints in research populations.
Memory-consolidation research
Literature examines BDNF-mediated learning and memory endpoints.
Cognitive-output research
Trial data examines sustained-attention and cognitive-task endpoints.
Neuroprotection literature
Original Semax literature examined cerebrovascular-protection and stroke-recovery research endpoints.
Mood-pathway research
Studies examine mood and behavioural endpoints linked to monoamine-pathway modulation.
Pharmacokinetic profile
Literature describes intranasal-delivery pharmacokinetics and rapid onset of central activity.
