Semax acetate(CAT: I040419) is a synthetic nootropic and neuroprotective peptide derived from adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) fragments, known for its cognitive-enhancing and neurorestorative properties. It is widely studied for its ability to improve memory, learning, and neuronal survival under stress or injury. Semax acetate has shown promising potential in brain stroke research by promoting neuroprotection, reducing oxidative stress, and enhancing neuroplasticity and recovery following ischemic damage. Its peptide-based structure allows for targeted activity within the central nervous system. Semax acetate is a valuable research tool in neuroscience, particularly for investigating therapeutic strategies in stroke, neurodegeneration, and cognitive impairment models.
