[2] In addition to actions at receptors, Semax, as well as a related peptide drug, Selank, have been found to inhibit enzymes involved in the degradation of enkephalins and other endogenous regulatory peptides (IC 50 = 10 M), though the clinical significance of this property is uncertain
Its shorter duration of action more closely mimics the pulsatile nature of endogenous GHRH secretion, thereby supporting physiological episodic GH release patterns in contrast to CJC-1295 with DAC, which produces sustained GH elevation with days-long GHRH-receptor occupancy
