Research context
Semax (CAS 80714-61-0) is a synthetic neuropeptide analog of the ACTH(4-7) fragment with an appended Pro-Gly-Pro tripeptide. As a research reagent it is studied for its stability characteristics and receptor-binding behavior in in-vitro neurochemical systems.
The scientific literature on ACTH-fragment analogs examines their pharmacological properties in preclinical models. Semax has been the subject of published research examining its behavior in cell-based and animal-model assay systems. It is not approved for human therapeutic use by the FDA or any equivalent agency.
DMV Research supplies Semax with a per-batch third-party Certificate of Analysis confirming identity and purity for research use.
