Research FAQ
Compound and research-use information
What is Semax?
Semax is a synthetic peptide derived from a fragment of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH 4-10) with an added stabilizing sequence. It is supplied for laboratory research use.
What is Semax studied for in the research setting?
Semax is studied in vitro and in preclinical models for research into BDNF expression, neurotrophic signaling, and neuromodulatory pathways. It is used as a reference neuropeptide in neuroscience research.
What form is Aurevena's Semax supplied in?
Semax is supplied as a lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. Every batch is tested by independent, accredited U.S. laboratories for purity and identity, with the Certificate of Analysis published on this product page. Store lyophilized peptide cold and protected from light, and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Is Semax intended for human use?
No. Semax is sold by Aurevena strictly for laboratory and research use only. It is not a drug, dietary supplement, cosmetic, or medical device, and is not intended for human or veterinary use, consumption, or for the diagnosis, treatment, cure, or prevention of any disease.
