Cerebrolysin vs Semax
Cerebrolysin is cheaper per mg: $0.032 per mg at its best-priced strength, 60mg (CBL60, special order, 50-box minimum) against $0.740 per mg for Semax at 10mg (XA10), 96 percent less. Every Cerebrolysin line is special order; from one box, Semax at $0.740 per mg (XA10) is the only option. The two share no strength, and a milligram of one compound is not a milligram of the other, so these figures compare price, not amount of compound. Cerebrolysin is offered in 1 strength, Semax in 2 (5mg to 10mg); Semax has 1 on the shelf today, Cerebrolysin none (special order, 50-box minimum). The least either takes: one box of XA5 at $45.40, three for a first order’s $100 minimum, against 50 boxes of CBL60, $950.00 of goods.

What differs between Cerebrolysin and Semax
A mixture against a molecule. Semax is a defined heptapeptide, C37H51N9O10S at 813.9, CAS 80714-61-0, offered in 5 and 10 mg. Cerebrolysin is a porcine brain-derived preparation, an enzymatic hydrolysate of low-molecular-weight peptides under 10 kDa together with free amino acids, CAS 12656-61-0, and it is filled at 60 mg a vial, the largest fill in its range, because what is being weighed is total peptide content rather than one compound. That is why its sheet gives no calculated mass and no RP-HPLC area percentage. The sulfur in the Semax formula is its methionine, which can oxidise to the sulfoxide.

Questions
What is the difference between Cerebrolysin and Semax?
A mixture against a molecule. Semax is a defined heptapeptide, C37H51N9O10S at 813.9, CAS 80714-61-0, offered in 5 and 10 mg.
Which is cheaper per mg, Cerebrolysin or Semax?
Cerebrolysin, at $0.032 per mg for its best-priced strength, 60mg (CBL60, special order, 50-box minimum) against $0.740 per mg for Semax at 10mg (XA10), 96 percent less. Every Cerebrolysin line is special order; from one box, Semax at $0.740 per mg (XA10) is the only option. The two share no strength, and a milligram of one compound is not a milligram of the other, so these figures compare price, not amount of compound.
Which comes in more strengths, Cerebrolysin or Semax?
Semax, with 2 against 1. Every strength is a separate line with its own code, price and stock state.
Are Cerebrolysin and Semax made to the same specification?
No. Cerebrolysin, a peptide preparation with no single mass, is released on size exclusion and SDS-PAGE against the limit stated on its batch certificate and identified against the reference standard by the method that certificate names. Semax is released on an RP-HPLC purity of at least 98.0 percent and identified by mass against its calculated 813.9. Both carry net content within 5 percent of label and a retest date on the batch record.
