Product Description: Semax is a BBB-penetrable adrenocorticotropic hormone-like peptide and can form stable complexes with Cu2+. Semax is a synthetic peptide analog of Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) (4-10). Semax has immunomodulatory, nootropic and neuroprotective activities. Semax can be used in the research of central nervous system diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and cerebral ischemia[1][2][3][4][5].
Applications: Neuroscience-Neuromodulation
Formula: C37H51N9O10S
