What it is
Adamax is a lab-made version of Semax. Semax is a 7 amino acid peptide sold as a drug in Russia. Adamax adds two changes. An acetyl group is added to the front end. An adamantane group is added to the back end. Adamantane is a small, fatty ring of carbon atoms. Both changes are meant to slow breakdown and help it enter the brain. Adamax is sold only by research chemical sellers. Its exact structure is set by the sellers, not by any published paper. See the Semax entry for the parent compound. Other names: N-Acetyl Semax Adamantane, Adamantylated Semax.
What researchers study it for
