Origin and Structure of Semax

Semax is a synthetic heptapeptide with the sequence Met-Glu-His-Phe-Pro-Gly-Pro, developed at the Institute of Molecular Genetics of the Russian Academy of Sciences by the team led by I.P. Ashmarin and N.F. Myasoedov. The molecule is an analog of the ACTH(4-10) fragment, in which the natural C-terminal tripeptide was replaced with the PGP (Pro-Gly-Pro) sequence. The ACTH(4-7) fragment, Met-Glu-His-Phe, is responsible for the neurotropic properties described in animal model studies, while lacking the corticotropic activity that requires amino acid residues 1-3 present in full-length ACTH.

The PGP tripeptide serves as an enzymatic stabilizer. The presence of proline at both ends of the PGP sequence protects the molecule from aminopeptidase and carboxypeptidase degradation, which in in vitro studies translated to an extended half-life compared to the unmodified ACTH(4-10) fragment. Importantly, Semax does not activate the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and does not induce cortisol release, distinguishing it from full-length ACTH and its shorter analogs retaining N-terminal residues.

Mechanism of Action

One of the most widely described effects of Semax in animal models is modulation of neurotrophic factor expression. In rat studies, peptide administration was shown to increase BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor) levels in the hippocampus and cerebral cortex. Effects on NGF (nerve growth factor) levels were also observed. These effects are particularly significant from a research perspective, as BDNF and NGF play key roles in synaptic plasticity and neuronal survival in in vitro and in vivo models.

As an ACTH fragment analog, Semax interacts with melanocortin receptors, particularly MC3R and MC4R. These receptors, widely expressed in the rodent central nervous system, mediate many effects of proopiomelanocortin (POMC)-derived peptides. Unlike ACTH, Semax does not activate MC2R (the receptor responsible for adrenal steroidogenesis), explaining the lack of corticotropic activity.

Transcriptomic studies in the rat model demonstrated that Semax induces expression of immediate early genes such as c-fos and NGFI-A in hippocampal structures. Modulation of serotonergic and dopaminergic systems was also observed, including effects on monoamine turnover in selected rat brain regions.

Research Overview

Development of Semax at the Institute of Molecular Genetics

Semax was developed in the 1980s-90s by the team of I.P. Ashmarin, V.N. Nezavibatko, and N.F. Myasoedov at the Institute of Molecular Genetics, Russian Academy of Sciences. The key publication describing characterization of the peptide as an ACTH(4-10) analog with PGP stabilizing tripeptide appeared in Russian neurobiological literature [1]. The authors demonstrated that C-terminal sequence modification of the ACTH fragment provides protease resistance while preserving neurotropic properties observed in the rat model, without cortisol release induction.

Effects on neurotrophic factors

Dolotov O.V. et al. published a series of papers on Semax effects on neurotrophic factor expression in rat brain [2]. In animal model studies, significant increases in BDNF mRNA levels in the hippocampus and frontal cortex were demonstrated following peptide administration. The effect was dose-dependent and persisted for several hours after a single dose. Later work by this team also described modulation of NGF expression and TrkB receptors in selected rodent brain structures [3].

Melanocortin receptor interactions

As an ACTH(4-7) fragment derivative, Semax interacts with the melanocortin receptor (MCR) family. Pharmacological studies demonstrated peptide affinity for MC3R and MC4R, with no activation of MC2R responsible for steroidogenesis [4]. MC4R receptors are widely expressed in the rat CNS, including the hippocampus, hypothalamus, and cerebral cortex.

Gene expression studies

In transcriptomic studies by Agapova T.Yu. et al., Semax was shown to induce immediate early gene expression (c-fos, NGFI-A) in rat hippocampus [5]. Microarray analysis revealed changes in expression of dozens of genes related to synaptic plasticity, intracellular signaling, and neurotransmitter metabolism. Later RNA-seq work confirmed broad effects of the peptide on the neuronal transcriptome, including serotonergic and dopaminergic pathway genes in limbic brain structures.

Structural Features

Semax is a heptapeptide with a mass of ~814 Da, composed of two functional domains:

  • ACTH(4-7) domain (positions 1-4) — Met-Glu-His-Phe, the adrenocorticotropic hormone fragment responsible for the neurotropic profile
  • PGP stabilizer (positions 5-7) — Pro-Gly-Pro, C-terminal protective tripeptide shared with Selank
  • N-terminal methionine — residue susceptible to oxidation, requiring appropriate storage conditions
  • All L-amino acids — no D-amino acid modifications, identical configuration to native ACTH

Semax is a synthetic heptapeptide with the sequence Met-Glu-His-Phe-Pro-Gly-Pro. It is an analog of the ACTH(4-10) fragment with a C-terminal PGP stabilizing sequence added to increase resistance to enzymatic degradation. CAS: 80714-61-0.

Both are Russian-developed heptapeptides with PGP stabilizers. Semax is derived from the ACTH(4-10) fragment and studied for nootropic properties. Selank is derived from tuftsin (an immunomodulatory tetrapeptide) and studied for anxiolytic properties. Both are available in our catalog.

Store lyophilized Semax at -20°C to -80°C. After reconstitution, store at 2-8°C and use within 30 days.

Semax is available as a 5 mg lyophilized vial.

Semax has been studied in the context of BDNF expression, NGF modulation, and cognitive function in animal models. It is one of the most-studied nootropic peptides, with extensive Russian-language literature.
