What the research examined
Research on a parent peptide cannot establish the properties of a modified analogue. The cited Semax literature includes a comparative clinical report in ischemic stroke and a rat experiment measuring inflammatory gene expression after cerebral ischemia. Those publications concern Semax, not Adamax.
How to interpret the findings
Structural similarity is a reason to investigate an analogue, not a substitute for experiments on that analogue. Neither the clinical observations nor the rat transcription results establish an Adamax effect.
