Selank
Anxiolytic Nootropic Peptide
A synthetic analogue of tuftsin studied for anxiolytic and nootropic properties.
Overview
Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide analogue of the immunomodulatory peptide tuftsin. Research has investigated its anxiolytic, nootropic, and immunomodulatory properties. It was developed at the Institute of Molecular Genetics of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
Research Information
Research on Selank has demonstrated anxiolytic effects in animal models without the sedative properties associated with benzodiazepines. Studies have investigated its effects on GABA-A receptor modulation, serotonin metabolism, and BDNF expression. Research has also explored its potential cognitive-enhancing effects and immunomodulatory properties.
Research Dosage Reference
Research protocols use intranasal or subcutaneous administration. Standard vials contain 5mg lyophilized powder. All dosing information is for research reference only.
