[A nootropic adrenocorticotropin analog 4-10-semax (l5 years experience in its design and study)].

Semax is one of the rare analogues of regulatory peptides which underwent all stages from fundamental investigations to practical usage. It has been demonstrated that this peptide is capable to stimulate operative memory and attention, to increase resistance to hypoxia and to improve brain circulation in experimental animals and human beings over prolonged period (20-24 h after intranasal administration in doses 0.015-0.

[Hormonal activity of the ACTH(4-10) analog--a prolonged-action stimulant of learning].

Possible hormonal activity of ACTH4-7, a long-acting ACTH4-10 analog (ProGly Pro) was studied. Unlike ACTH5-10 the peptide did not reveal steroidogenic and melanocyte-stimulating activity.
