Product Overview
Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide derived from the naturally occurring immunomodulatory peptide tuftsin. Developed in Russia for neurological and psychiatric research, this anxiolytic peptide has been extensively studied for its anti-anxiety properties and cognitive enhancement effects. Our research-grade Selank undergoes rigorous third-party testing to ensure 99%+ purity and comes with a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis.
Research Applications
- Cognitive enhancement and memory consolidation research
- Investigation of GABAergic and serotonergic pathways
- Neuroprotection and stress adaptation research
Mechanism of Action
In research models, Selank demonstrates significant anxiolytic effects by modulating neurotransmitter systems, particularly GABA and serotonin pathways. It influences the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and promotes neuroplasticity without causing sedation or dependence. The peptide also exhibits immunomodulatory properties and enhances the activity of enkephalins, contributing to its stress-reducing effects.
