Semax Research Video Explainer

For in-vitro and laboratory research use only. Not for human or veterinary use. Nothing on this page is medical advice.

This short video explains Semax as a research compound. Semax is ACTH(4-7)-PGP Heptapeptide Studied in BDNF/TrkB Neurotrophic Signalling. It covers its molecular identity (CAS 80714-61-0, 813.92 g/mol) and the pathways studied in laboratory models. A second video is included below.

Key facts

What Semax is studied for

• Studying rapid up-regulation of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) and TrkB receptor mRNA.
• Investigating non-hormonal ACTH fragment pharmacology free of adrenal steroidogenic activity.
• Examining C-terminal Pro-Gly-Pro (PGP) tripeptide resistance against aminopeptidase degradation.

What the video covers

Each slide in the 60-second explainer follows one line of published laboratory work, not a medical outcome.

• 1. Melanocortin & Allosteric Binding Interacts with central melanocortin receptors and neuronal membrane binding sites.
• 2. BDNF / NGF / TrkB Transcription Rapidly increases hippocampal and cortical expression of BDNF and its TrkB tyrosine kinase receptor.
• 3. Synaptic Plasticity & Neuroprotection Modulates MAPK/ERK and PI3K/Akt cascades involved in cholinergic and dopaminergic survival.
