Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide derived from tuftsin and widely studied for its potential roles in anxiolytic activity, stress modulation, and cognitive enhancement.

Research often examines Selank’s influence on the GABAergic system, its possible effects on memory formation, mental clarity, and behavioral regulation.

This compound is provided as a lyophilized powder.

Anxiolytic Heptapeptide

Calm Without Sedation: The Tuftsin Analog That Matches Benzodiazepines

Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide analog of tuftsin (sequence: Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg-Pro-Gly-Pro) engineered for enhanced metabolic stability. In clinical trials for generalized anxiety disorder, Selank matched the anxiolytic efficacy of medazepam (a benzodiazepine) while adding anti-asthenic and psychostimulant benefits — without sedation, cognitive impairment, or dependence potential. This unique "calm yet clear" profile makes it central to anxiety and cognition research.

  • Heptapeptide: Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg-Pro-Gly-Pro (TKPRPGP)
  • Tuftsin analog with glyproline motif for stability
  • Anxiolytic efficacy comparable to benzodiazepines
  • No sedation, amnesia, or dependence potential
  • Anti-asthenic (energy-boosting) properties

For laboratory research use only. Not for human consumption.

Selank Anxiolytic Peptide Research

Multi-Axis Mechanism

How Selank Achieves Anxiolysis Without Trade-Offs

Selank operates through a rare multi-system mechanism. It modulates 52 GABA-related genes, increases hippocampal BDNF, and inhibits enkephalin-degrading enzymes (IC₅₀ ~20 µM) — prolonging the body's natural anti-stress peptides. Unlike benzodiazepines that directly enhance GABA receptor activity, Selank changes receptor affinity through gene expression, explaining its synergy with classical anxiolytics and lack of tolerance development.

  • Modulates 52 genes related to GABA signaling
  • Increases BDNF in hippocampus (intranasal-confirmed)
  • Inhibits enkephalinases (preserves endogenous anti-stress peptides)
  • Regulates IL-6 and 34 inflammation-related genes
  • Alters GABA receptor affinity (not direct agonism)

For laboratory research use only. Not for human consumption.

Selank Mechanism of Action

Research Applications

From Memory Enhancement to Pain Modulation

Selank research extends far beyond anxiety. Studies demonstrate enhanced memory trace stability independent of anxiety reduction — suggesting direct nootropic properties. It modulates 36 hippocampal genes encoding plasma membrane proteins involved in learning. Pain research shows enkephalinase inhibition helps protect natural analgesic peptides. Additional applications include immune modulation, cognitive rescue after brain injury, and even antiviral activity against influenza A.

  • Memory and learning: Enhanced trace stability, 36 hippocampal genes
  • Pain modulation: Enkephalinase inhibition preserves natural analgesia
  • Cognitive rescue: Restores function after neurotoxin damage
  • Immune modulation: IL-6 suppression, 34 cytokine-related genes
  • Antiviral research: Activity against influenza A/H3N2

Selank Research Applications
Description

The Science Behind Calm Clarity: Why Selank Redefines Anxiolytic Research

Selank represents a breakthrough in anxiolytic peptide research. As a synthetic analog of the immunomodulatory peptide tuftsin, it retains the parent compound's immune benefits while adding profound anxiolytic and nootropic properties. The additional glyproline (PGP) motif dramatically improves metabolic stability, allowing consistent research protocols impossible with native tuftsin.

The clinical evidence is compelling. In head-to-head trials against medazepam (a benzodiazepine), Selank matched anxiolytic efficacy while adding anti-asthenic and psychostimulant benefits — the opposite of benzodiazepine sedation. Unlike classical anxiolytics, Selank shows no amnesia, cognitive impairment, tolerance, or withdrawal symptoms. This "calm without sedation" profile has made it a reference compound for anxiety research.

Mechanistically, Selank operates on multiple axes simultaneously. It modulates 52 genes related to GABA signaling — not through direct receptor agonism, but by changing receptor affinity through gene expression. It increases hippocampal BDNF (supporting neuroplasticity), inhibits enkephalin-degrading enzymes (preserving natural stress-relief peptides), and regulates inflammatory cytokines including IL-6. This multi-system approach explains both its efficacy and favorable side-effect profile.

Research applications extend well beyond anxiety. Memory studies show enhanced trace stability independent of anxiety reduction, suggesting direct nootropic effects. Pain research demonstrates prolonged enkephalin half-life through enkephalinase inhibition. Immune studies reveal regulation of 34 inflammation-related genes. For teams investigating anxiety disorders, cognitive enhancement, neuroimmune interactions, or pain modulation, Selank provides a uniquely clean, multi-target research tool with extensive clinical validation.
