Description
Our Semax 5mg vial holds 5mg of lyophilized Semax, an ACTH(4-10) analog peptide. It’s sold for laboratory research only.
What is Semax?
Semax is a seven-amino-acid peptide (Met-Glu-His-Phe-Pro-Gly-Pro) based on a fragment of ACTH, with a Pro-Gly-Pro tail added for stability. It was developed at the Institute of Molecular Genetics in Moscow.
It’s registered in Russia and used there as a nasal drop.
Semax mechanism of action
Semax is based on ACTH(4-10), a piece of the stress hormone ACTH that affects the brain but not the adrenal glands. The Pro-Gly-Pro tail slows its breakdown.
In rats it raised BDNF, a growth factor that supports neuron survival and learning, and changed dopamine and serotonin activity. It’s usually studied as an intranasal compound.

How to reconstitute Semax 5mg
Here’s the math for 5mg of peptide:
- 1ml of bacteriostatic water gives 5mg/ml
- 2ml of bacteriostatic water gives 2.5mg/ml
- 3ml of bacteriostatic water gives 1.67mg/ml
Go with whichever number is easiest to work with in your protocol, and label the vial with the concentration and the date you mixed it.
Use sterile bacteriostatic water. Warm the sealed vial to room temperature first so no condensation gets in, add the water slowly along the glass wall, and swirl gently until it’s clear. Never shake.
Storing Semax 5mg
The dry powder keeps best cold: 2 to 8°C in the fridge, or -20°C for long-term storage. After reconstitution, store it in the fridge and finish it within roughly four weeks.
