BDNF inducer peptides
Peptides that raise brain-derived neurotrophic factor expression in the hippocampus and cortex — the family endpoint behind most of the cognitive-peptide literature.
Semax
A synthetic heptapeptide analogue of ACTH(4-10) developed in Russia for cognitive enhancement, neuroprotection, and stroke recovery research.
Read profileSelank
A synthetic heptapeptide analogue of tuftsin developed for anxiolytic and immunomodulatory research, with measurable effects on attention and mood.
Read profileCerebrolysin
A complex mixture of low-molecular-weight peptides and free amino acids derived from porcine brain tissue, studied extensively in cognitive decline and post-stroke recovery research.
Read profileNoopept (Peptide Note)
A small proline-containing dipeptide derivative — technically a peptidomimetic — developed in Russia as an orally active cognitive enhancer with structural lineage to piracetam.
Read profileN-Acetyl Semax Amidate
A chemically protected analogue of Semax with N-terminal acetylation and C-terminal amidation, conferring substantially extended half-life and improved potency in research.
Read profileCortexin
A standardised low-molecular-weight peptide preparation derived from bovine cerebral cortex, used in Russian clinical practice for cognitive impairment, post-stroke recovery, and traumatic brain injury research — the closest single sister to Cerebrolysin.
Read profileCycloprolylglycine
An endogenous cyclic dipeptide that is also the primary active metabolite of Noopept, with intrinsic anxiolytic and cognitive effects independent of its parent compound — a research peptide in its own right.
Read profileOrg 2766
A classical Dutch/Organon ACTH(4-9) analogue closely related to Semax — the direct pharmacological cousin of the Russian cognitive-peptide programme's flagship compound, with independent memory and neuroprotective research history.
Read profileACTH(4-10)
The parent 4-10 fragment of adrenocorticotropic hormone from which Semax derives — the classical ACTH-fragment cognitive-research peptide with foundational historical significance in the vasopressin/ACTH memory-peptide programme.
