Selank

Product Description Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide analog of the endogenous immunomodulatory peptide tuftsin. It functions as a selective anxiolytic and nootropic compound that modulates GABAergic transmission and neuroinflammation. Supplied as ≥98% pure lyophilized powder (HPLC/MS verified), it is designed for laboratory studies on anxiety regulation, cognitive function, neuroprotection, and immune-neuro interactions.

Key Research Mechanism Selank acts as a positive allosteric modulator of GABA_A receptors, enhancing inhibitory neurotransmission without benzodiazepine-like side effects. It also influences BDNF expression, reduces pro-inflammatory cytokines (e.g., IL-6), and stabilizes enkephalin degradation, supporting anxiolytic, antidepressant, and cognitive-enhancing effects in research models.

Primary Research Areas

• Anxiety, stress response, and anxiolytic pathway studies
• Cognitive function, memory, and nootropic research
