Overview
Semax is a synthetic peptide, chemically designated as N-acetyl-ACTH(4-10)-amide, which is structurally related to a fragment of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). It was originally developed in Russia for its potential neuroregulatory and nootropic effects. Unlike ACTH, Semax is reported to lack significant hormonal activity. Research on Semax has explored its potential applications in areas such as cognitive enhancement, stroke recovery, and treatment of conditions involving central nervous system dysfunction. It is typically administered intranasally. Due to its status as a prescribed compound in some regions and its experimental nature in others, Semax is not widely available as an over-the-counter supplement and its use is generally under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
