Semax nasal drops 1% is an original synthetic peptide preparation, which is an analogue of the fragment of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH4-10) (methionyl-glutamyl-histidyl-phenylalanyl-prolyl-glycyl-proline), completely devoid of hormonal activity. All amino acids are L-form.
Semax has an original mechanism of neurospecific action on the central nervous system (CNS). Semax is a synthetic analog of corticotropin, which has nootropic properties and is completely devoid of hormonal activity. The drug improves cognitive or cognitive processes of the brain, such as memory, learning, attention. Increases mental performance; improves the adaptation of brain cells to hypoxia, anesthesia and other damaging effects. The drug is practically non-toxic with a single and long-term administration. Does not show allergic, embryotoxic, teratogenic and mutagenic properties. Does not have a local irritating effect.
It is absorbed from the mucous membrane of the nasal cavity, while up to 60-70% is absorbed in terms of the active substance. Semax is rapidly distributed to all organs and tissues, penetrates the blood-brain barrier. When it enters the blood, Semax undergoes a fairly rapid biotransformation and excretion from the body with urine.
