Few Drops of Semax Save Lives after a Stroke

The winding corridors and shiny chrome production lines, hidden behind double glass barrier metal hatch, pressurized resemble the interior of the spacecraft. Founded in 2005 with the participation of the Institute of Molecular Genetics, Russian Academy of Sciences of production, which is the developer of drugs has moved to "Strogino" recently.

- We began to look for a new site to accommodate as significantly increased production, - said CEO Alim Nemersky. - In addition, it is necessary to take into account that the Russian pharmaceutical industry moved to GMP standards (from the English "Good Manufacturing Practice").

They describe in detail all aspects of the production process - from the premises device to workers health. Possibility to stay in "clean rooms" Technopark "Strogino" and low rents have affected the decision to manufacture here. We moved not in vain. The best place for the production of innovative and think hard. On the basis of Technopark company "Peptogen" produces high-tech drugs that do not have analogues in the world. Drops "Semax" and "Selank" not only included in the List of Essential Medicines Decree of the Government, but also exported to the CIS countries and Southeast Asia. Preparations started on the basis of regulatory peptides, are effectively applied in the field of neurology and psychiatry, as well as stroke and migraine. They affect each organism individually, to engage with their own human proteins, and intranasal administration form (through the nose) many times faster access to drugs to brain cells.

- The substances enter the body for four minutes, allowing you to quickly take measures to prevent the further development of ischemic stroke - said Alim Vasilevich. - Upon the occurrence of cerebral infarction doctors have a so-called therapeutic window of from three to six hours. During this period, the treatment of acute circulatory disorders are the most effective. Timely application of one percent Semax drops can reduce disability and mortality significantly.

Looking at the tiny glass bottlesfilled with clear liquid, moving along the production belt, it is difficult to imagine that synthetic peptides could save countless lives. And if the effects on the natural peptides - extracts from animal tissue - is not fully understood, as to establish their chemical structure is almost impossible, the synthetic analgesics is already being developed and insulin.

The situation on the domestic market of the peptides, thanks to the strong "Soviet school" looks good. Of the 70 drugs available today 27 are registered in Russia, and 7 have been designed and manufactured only in our country. Research Institute of Molecular Genetics and "Peptogena" continues. With the support of today peptide production by state and municipal authorities, Russia has a chance to become a leader in science, so actively developing in the world in the last decade.

Life exists because of proteins peptides, carrying information, and DNA. In conjunction with the peptides or other DNA sequence occurs the synthesis of specific proteins - life. Proteins consist of amino acids, the chain of links and are of different lengths. Peptides - short proteins. In the body, they transfer the information from one cell to another. All peptides are highly specialized: for the lungs - pulmonary, for the brain - the brain. Peptides are the same for all mammals.

Peptide drugs are harmless and help adjustment to natural physiological functions of humans under certain conditions and factors. So now scientists all over the world applied a lot of effort to create an extremely promising drugs. This problem is solved.
