3.Application
Medical uses for Semax include treatment of stroke, transient ischemic
attack, memory and cognitive disorders, peptic ulcers, optic nerve
disease, and to boost the immune system.
In animals, Semax rapidly elevates the levels and expression of
brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and its signaling receptor TrkB
in the hippocampus, and rapidly activates serotonergic and dopaminergic
brain systems.In accordance, it has been found to produce
antidepressant-like and anxiolytic-like effects, attenuate the
behavioral effects of exposure to chronic stress, and potentiate the
locomotor activity produced by D-amphetamine.As such, it has been
suggested that Semax may be effective in the treatment of
depression,[12] as well as in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
(ADHD).
