Description

Semax (MEHFPGP) is a synthetic heptapeptide analog of the ACTH(4-10) fragment, stabilised by a Pro-Gly-Pro extension at the C-terminus. Developed at the Institute of Molecular Genetics of the Russian Academy of Sciences in the 1980s, it is studied internationally as a nootropic research peptide. LiveWell supplies it as a lyophilized vial in 5 MG and 10 MG sizes, strictly for in-vitro laboratory research use.

Structure: The Pro-Gly-Pro extension is what distinguishes Semax from the native ACTH(4-10) fragment — the addition markedly increases enzymatic stability, which is the property most often examined in comparative peptide-stability research.

Studied in: BDNF and trkB expression research, neurotrophic signalling studies, comparative ACTH-analog structure-activity research, and dopaminergic and serotonergic pathway studies in rodent models. Published rodent work reports approximately a threefold increase in BDNF mRNA and a twofold increase in trkB mRNA in hippocampal tissue.

Comparative nootropic-peptide research

LiveWell also supplies Selank, a synthetic analog of tuftsin studied in a related research area. Sourcing both from the same manufacturer allows structure-activity comparisons without introducing supplier variability into the study design.

US manufacturing and cold-chain logistics

Peptide stability depends on temperature control. Orders ship same-day from our Dallas, Texas facility in thermo-insulated packaging, with free domestic shipping over $200 and international shipping to Colombia, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Peru.

Bulk pricing and private label

Volume pricing applies automatically at checkout — 10% off at 3–5 units, 15% at 6–8, and 20% at 10 or more. For wholesale quantities or private label enquiries, contact our sales team.
