Met-Glu-His-Phe-Pro-Gly-ProWerkingsmechanisme
Enfuvirtid
Enfuvirtide binds the first heptad-repeat region (HR1) of the gp41 subunit of the HIV envelope protein. This prevents the conformational change required for fusion of the viral and cell membranes — the virus cannot enter the cell.
Semax
Semax is a tetracosactide fragment analog without hormonal activity at MC2R. Proposed mechanisms include elevation of BDNF and NGF in hippocampus and striatum (in animal models), modulation of dopamine metabolism, and neuroprotective effects via anti-apoptotic pathways. A clear primary receptor is not established.

Frequently asked questions
- What is the difference between Enfuvirtid and Semax?
- Enfuvirtid is classified as "Onderzoek (overig)", while Semax is classified as "Onderzoek (overig)". Enfuvirtid: Enfuvirtide is a synthetic 36-amino-acid peptide and the first HIV-1 fusion inhibitor. It binds the HR1 region of the viral envelope protein gp41, blocking viral entry into the cell. Approved for treatment-experienced HIV patients. Semax: Synthetic heptapeptide derived from the N-terminal fragment of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH 4-10). Approved in Russia for ischaemic stroke, cognitive function and ADHD in children. Western phase-3 trials absent. This page contrasts both neutrally and source-based — with no usage or dosing recommendation.
- Which peptide is better supported by science, Enfuvirtid or Semax?
- The highest available evidence level is "Humane RCT" for Enfuvirtid and "Humane studie" for Semax. A higher evidence level means more robust data, but says nothing about suitability for an individual. The full body of evidence is on each peptide's own page.
- What is the legal status of Enfuvirtid and Semax in Germany and the United States?
- Duitsland: Enfuvirtid — Op recept, Semax — Niet goedgekeurd. Verenigde Staten: Enfuvirtid — Op recept, Semax — Niet goedgekeurd. These are factual summaries with source and review date on the individual pages.
