About Semax

What is Semax?

Overview

What is Semax?

Semax is a synthetic heptapeptide analogue of the ACTH(4-10) fragment, extended with a proline-glycine-proline tail that resists enzymatic breakdown. Despite the shared origin with adrenocorticotropic hormone, the fragment carries no corticotropic activity. It is supplied as a lyophilised powder in sealed vials, boxed in tens, for laboratory research use only.

Laboratory research use onlyNobelPepLab supplies Semax strictly for in vitro and laboratory research. We do not provide dosing guidance, do not make health claims, and do not supply products for human or veterinary use.

DocumentationBatch-specific third-party COA

These are catalogue target specifications, not batch results. The 99%+ purity figure is the specification we buy to. The authoritative figures for any particular box are the ones printed on that box’s Certificate of Analysis, which is lot-specific. What research grade actually means explains the difference. Terms such as HPLC purity and net peptide content are explained in the peptide glossary.

We make no “third-party verified” claim for a batch unless the matching report is supplied with it. Ask for the current COA for the lot in stock before you order — we will send it.

Prices for every strength

Pricing

Semax price per vial: 5mg and 10mg

Semax starts at $6.51 per vial (£4.88), sold in boxes of 10 at $65.14. One box is the smallest order and there is no trade account or minimum spend. Larger volumes are negotiable.

Semax price by strength. Billed in USD; GBP shown for reference. Each box contains 10 vials.
StrengthPer vialBox of 10
5 mg$6.51 £4.88$65.14 £48.80
10 mg$8.01 £6.00$80.14 £60.04
Storage & reconstitution

Handling

How should Semax be stored and reconstituted?

Sealed vials tolerate ambient temperature in transit and keep at −20 °C beyond that. Reconstitute slowly down the vial wall, swirl rather than shake, then refrigerate at 2–8 °C and aliquot before freezing.

What it is researched for

Research Context

What is Semax researched for?

Below is a plain-English summary of what published research has investigated, and what it has found. These are descriptions of research activity and published results. They are not claims about what Semax does, and nothing here is a statement that it is safe or effective for any purpose.

Research status Registered as a medicine in Russia. Not approved in the UK, EU or US. Most published research is Russian-language and has not been widely replicated.

BDNF expression

The most-cited Semax finding is increased expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor in rat hippocampus, where a single application raised BDNF protein and trkB phosphorylation alongside a measurable change in conditioned avoidance behaviour. BDNF supports the survival and growth of neurons, and this is the proposed basis for the cognitive research. 2 A separate line of work reports that Semax raises striatal serotonin turnover and amplifies amphetamine-evoked dopamine release while not altering dopamine on its own, which is a second and largely independent mechanism. 1

Neuroprotection models

Rodent stroke and cerebral ischaemia models are the main setting for Semax research, examining whether tissue damage is reduced when the peptide is administered after the event. 3

No hormonal activity

Although derived from ACTH, Semax covers residues 4 to 10, outside the region that stimulates the adrenal gland. It does not raise cortisol, which is precisely what allows it to be studied as a neuropeptide rather than a hormone analogue.

Batch COA

Verification

Does Semax come with a COA?

Yes — every box. Each batch of Semax is analysed by an independent third-party laboratory, and the certificate is tied to the batch number on the vial label.

Questions & answers

Questions

Semax questions, answered

Does Semax act like ACTH?

No. Semax corresponds to residues 4 to 10 of adrenocorticotropic hormone, a region outside the portion responsible for stimulating the adrenal cortex. The fragment retains no corticotropic activity, which is why it is studied as a regulatory peptide rather than a hormone analogue.

How much does Semax cost?

Semax starts at $6.51 per vial, sold in boxes of 10 vials at $65.14 per box (about £48.80). 2 strengths available: 5 mg, 10 mg. There is no minimum order.

Can I buy Semax 10mg vials in the UK?

Yes. Semax 10mg comes in boxes of 10 vials at $80.14 per box ($8.01 per vial, about £60.04 per box), sent tracked to UK addresses. There is no minimum order.

How is Semax shipped to the UK and USA?

Tracked to the UK, USA, EU and worldwide, in plain packaging, dispatched within 1–2 working days. Country-by-country estimates are on the shipping page.
