Overview
N‑Acetyl Semax 10 mg (Ac‑Semax; Ac‑MEHFPGP) from Peptide Tech is a premium, lyophilized research‑use‑only (RUO) heptapeptide supplied at ≥99% purity (HPLC & MS verified). This N‑terminally acetylated Semax analog — Ac‑Met‑Glu‑His‑Phe‑Pro‑Gly‑Pro — is formatted for reproducible in‑vitro neuropeptide signaling, BDNF/TrkB‑axis readouts, and analytical method development under rigorous documentation and cold‑chain integrity.
Specifications
| Property | Details |
|---|---|
| Product | N‑Acetyl Semax — lyophilized peptide, 10 mg |
| Chemical Name | Ac‑MEHFPGP (Ac‑Met‑Glu‑His‑Phe‑Pro‑Gly‑Pro) |
| Synonyms | Ac‑Semax; NAS; N‑Acetyl‑Semax; Ac‑MEHFPGP |
| Sequence | Ac‑Met‑Glu‑His‑Phe‑Pro‑Gly‑Pro (Ac‑MEHFPGP) |
| C‑terminus | Free acid by default (amidated variant — “N‑Acetyl Semax Amidate / NASA” — available on request). Confirm on COA. |
| CAS Number | Not assigned for this exact variant |
| PubChem CID | No consolidated PubChem entry exists for N‑acetylated Semax. See native Semax listing for reference. |
| Molecular Formula | Free acid (nominal): C38H49N9O10S (estimate; verify on COA). Amidated variant will differ. |
| Molecular Weight | Free acid (nominal): ≈ 811–815 g/mol depending on counter‑ion. Verify on COA. |
| Appearance | White to off‑white lyophilized powder |
| Container | 3 mL Type I glass vial; butyl stopper; flip‑off seal |
| Purity / Identity | ≥99% by HPLC; identity by MS (batch COA via on‑vial QR) |
| Counter‑ion | Typically acetate (verify on lot COA) |
| Solubility | Soluble in sterile water or neutral buffers; for rapid wetting at higher concentration, pre‑wet with ≤0.1% acetic acid then bring to buffer. Filter (0.22 µm) if sterility is required by your SOP. |
| Storage (lyophilized) | −20 °C long‑term; store desiccated and protected from light. |
| After Reconstitution | Aliquot and store at ≤ −20 °C (or −80 °C per SOP); avoid repeat freeze–thaw cycles. |
| Intended Use | RUO only. Not for human or animal use. |

Potential Applications in Research (RUO)
Strictly for laboratory research. No health, diagnostic, or therapeutic claims.
- Neurotrophin‑axis readouts — quantify BDNF/TrkB pathway markers (mRNA/protein) in neuronal or glial cultures following defined Ac‑Semax exposures (RT‑qPCR, ELISA, Western).
- cAMP/PKA and CREB signaling — measure phospho‑CREB and immediate‑early genes under serum‑controlled conditions with time‑course dosing.
- Oxidative‑stress panels — evaluate ROS assays, antioxidant response genes (e.g., Nrf2/HO‑1), and mitochondrial potential under standardized oxidative challenges.
- Peptide stability & transport — establish stability in CSF‑like buffers; assess uptake/transport across in‑vitro barrier models (e.g., hCMEC/D3).
- Analytical method development — RP‑HPLC/LC–MS(/MS) for identity, purity, recovery, and forced‑degradation profiling across buffers and temperatures.

Quality, Storage & Handling
Every lot is confirmed by HPLC (purity) and MS (identity); the on‑vial QR links to the batch COA. Independent U.S. labs verify purity, quantity, and endotoxin.
- Storage (lyophilized): −20 °C long‑term or 2–8 °C short‑term; keep desiccated and protected from light.
- After reconstitution: Aliquot promptly; store at ≤ −20 °C (or −80 °C per SOP). Avoid multiple freeze–thaw cycles.
- Reconstitution tips: Use sterile water or suitable buffer; gently swirl/invert to dissolve. If sterility is required, 0.22 µm filter and aliquot.
Shipping & Fulfillment
Ships with validated cold‑chain packaging. In‑stock orders placed before the daily cutoff ship the same day. 2‑Day FedEx/UPS is standard, with overnight options available. Automated text/email updates included; international shipping available where permitted.
Compliance & RUO Disclaimer
For laboratory research only. Not a drug, cosmetic, food, or household chemical. Not for human or animal use, ingestion, diagnostic, or therapeutic applications. Purchasers warrant appropriate qualifications and compliance with applicable regulations and institutional policies.
FAQs
- Is this the same as “N‑Acetyl Semax Amidate (NASA)?”
- No. This listing is N‑Acetyl Semax (free acid) unless the COA states otherwise. The amidated variant adds a C‑terminal –NH2. If you need NASA, ask about custom lots.
- Do you provide a PubChem image?
- PubChem does not currently host a dedicated 2D rendering for N‑Acetyl Semax. We can supply a structure file (SVG/MOL) for your lot on request.
- What purity do you provide?
- Each 10 mg vial is ≥99% by HPLC with MS identity confirmation; third‑party testing is performed on every lot (COA via on‑vial QR).
- How should I reconstitute it?
- Dissolve in sterile water or a compatible buffer; gently invert until fully dissolved. If your SOP requires sterility, 0.22 µm filter and aliquot to avoid repeat freeze–thaw.
