SELANK

Summary

Selank is one of the most studied neuropeptides in the nootropic and anxiolytic fields: it is researched for its role in reducing stress, improving mood, and enhancing mental focus without drowsiness. Technically, it is a synthetic heptapeptide (Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg-Pro-Gly-Pro) analogous to tuftsin, developed by the Russian Academy of Sciences, with an anxiolytic and nootropic profile without sedative effects.

What is it researched for?

• •  Stress and anxiety reduction without sedation
• •  Mood and mental focus
• •  Memory, learning, and synaptic plasticity
• •  Neuroimmune communication

Cycle and break

Mechanism of action

GABAergic and anxiolytic modulation

It acts as a positive allosteric modulator of GABA-A receptors, which is the basis of its anxiolytic effect, and regulates dopaminergic and serotonergic neurotransmission.

Neurotrophism and plasticity

It increases BDNF in the hippocampus and promotes neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity, which are linked to memory and cognition.

Neuroimmune modulation

It regulates the production of IL-6 and interferons, connecting the stress response with the immune system.

Scientific evidence

Anxiolysis: Anxiety models describe anxiolytic effect without sedation or dependence.

BDNF and learning: Studies in rodents document increased BDNF and improved learning.

Neuroimmunity: Researched in the regulation of stress response and neuroimmune communication.

Product use

Due to its anxiolytic effect without sedation and its action on BDNF, Selank is a prominent reference material in neurocognitive and stress research. At Peptido BioGenetic, we offer it as a high-purity peptide for laboratory use, with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) available upon request.
