    Adamax

    Synthetic peptide described as a modified form of Semax. No peer-reviewed studies of Adamax itself have been published.

    Mechanism of action

    Adamax is a name used for a modified form of Semax (Met-Glu-His-Phe-Pro-Gly-Pro). We found no peer-reviewed studies of Adamax itself, so its targets and effects have not been measured directly. Any mechanism is inferred from Semax, which in rats raised levels of BDNF and its receptor TrkB in the hippocampus (Dolotov et al., 2006). Whether the modifications change how the peptide behaves is not known.
