Description

🧬 What is Semax?

You can buy Semax in Mexico for research at NeoPeptidos. Semax is a synthetic heptapeptide (Met-Glu-His-Phe-Pro-Gly-Pro), an analog of the ACTH(4-7) fragment, developed at the Institute of Molecular Biology in Moscow. Unlike full ACTH, it lacks hormonal effects and has been investigated exclusively for its nootropic and neuroprotective properties.

🔍 Research areas for Semax

  • Neuroprotection in cerebral ischemia and hypoxia models
  • Modulation of BDNF and NGF (neurotrophic factors)
  • Cognitive improvement in memory and learning deficit models
  • Anxiolytic effects and effects on the HPA axis in stress models
  • Dopaminergic and serotonergic signaling in the CNS

Is it legal to buy Semax in Mexico?

Current status: No regulatory approval in North America or the European Union.

In Mexico, a research peptide is sold as a laboratory reagent (RUO, research use only). It is not a medicine: it has no COFEPRIS sanitary registration for human or veterinary use, it is not dispensed in pharmacies and it does not require a prescription, precisely because it is not sold to be administered to people. RUO labeling is not a commercial technicality; it is the product's regulatory category and defines what can and cannot legally be done with it. Since it is a domestic shipment, the order does not go through customs and is not subject to import procedures.

Mexico · COFEPRISNo sanitary registration in Mexico.
United States · FDAPlaced in Category 2 of the section 503A list on September 29, 2023 and reviewed by the FDA advisory committee on July 24, 2026.

Semax was developed in Russia and holds a national registration there for certain indications. That registration has no validity in Mexico and implies no recognition by COFEPRIS, the FDA or the EMA.

What is Semax?

Semax is a synthetic heptapeptide derived from the (4-10) fragment of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), modified by adding the tripeptide Pro-Gly-Pro at the carboxyl end, which gives it resistance to enzymatic degradation without corticotropic hormonal activity.

It was developed at the Institute of Molecular Genetics of the Russian Academy of Sciences in the 1980s. It holds a national registration in Russia for certain indications, a fact that should be stated precisely: that registration has no validity in Mexico and implies no recognition by COFEPRIS, the FDA or the EMA.

In terms of chemical identity, it is classified as ACTH(4-7) analog heptapeptide, its CAS number is 80714-61-0, its molecular weight is 813.93 g/mol. These identifiers are what allow the material received to be checked against the batch Certificate of Analysis.

Also known as: ACTH(4-7) analog · neuroprotective nootropic.

Mechanism studied in preclinical research

The most described pathway is the modulation of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and its receptor TrkB. In animal models, increased BDNF expression in the hippocampus and cortex has been reported after administration.

The structural modification is the key to the design: the ACTH (4-10) fragment retains activity on memory and attention systems described for that domain, but since it lacks the full sequence it does not stimulate the adrenal cortex, separating the neurotropic effect from the hormonal one.

Route used in the studies: Subcutaneous (SC). It is given for documentation purposes, to interpret the literature; it is not an instruction for use.

What does the evidence on Semax show, and where does it end?

The literature base comes mostly from Russian groups and is largely published in Russian, which makes independent evaluation difficult and explains why it is rarely cited in Western reviews.

It is not approved by the FDA, the EMA or COFEPRIS. It was placed in Category 2 of the 503A list on September 29, 2023 and reviewed by the FDA advisory committee on July 24, 2026.

Reference: Russian clinical studies (Semax is registered in Russia).

Documented lines of research

The following lines appear in the preclinical literature. They are listed for scientific reference only: they are not indications, efficacy claims or suggestions for use.

  • BDNF expression and TrkB signaling in central nervous system models.
  • Cerebral ischemia and neuroprotection models.
  • Research on attention and memory consolidation in animal models.

How does it differ from related compounds?

CompoundMain difference
SelankDerived from tuftsin, not from ACTH. Its literature focuses on modulation of anxiety and the GABAergic system, not on memory and attention.

Handling, reconstitution and storage

The vial is delivered lyophilized, that is, as a dry powder obtained by freeze-drying. In that form it is stable and does not require a cold chain during transport: shipping does not compromise the material. On receipt, it is kept refrigerated between 2 and 8 °C, protected from light.

For the Semax strengths, a reference reconstitution would be: el vial de 10 mg with 1 mL of bacteriostatic water queda a 10 mg/mL. The volume is not fixed — more water gives a more dilute solution with a larger measuring margin; less water concentrates it — and the choice depends on the working protocol.

The diluent is added slowly along the wall of the vial, never directly onto the powder, and left to rest for five to ten minutes. The vial is swirled gently until fully dissolved; shaking it hard subjects the peptide to mechanical stress that can denature it. Once reconstituted, it is kept refrigerated and is not frozen.

Bacteriostatic water contains 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a preservative, which allows multiple draws from the same vial. Plain sterile water has no preservative and is only suitable for immediate use. Signs of degradation to watch for: cloudy solution, visible particles, change in color or odor.

Frequently asked questions

Is Semax fit for human consumption?

No. It is sold exclusively as a research-use-only (RUO) reagent, labeled as not fit for human consumption. It has no COFEPRIS sanitary registration and no approval from any other agency for human or veterinary use.

How do I verify the purity of the batch I receive?

Every batch comes with a Certificate of Analysis issued by an independent laboratory, with the HPLC chromatogram, the purity percentage, the batch number and the date of analysis. It is included in the price and you can download it from the product page and from your account.

How long does shipping take, and does it go through customs?

Shipping is express, 1 to 3 business days depending on the area, with a tracking number, to all 32 states. Since it is a domestic shipment sent from within Mexico, it does not go through customs: there are no holds or import procedures.
