01 /What it is

Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide originally derived from the immunomodulatory peptide tuftsin.

02 /How it works

In research models, Selank is studied in pathways related to GABAergic signaling, BDNF expression, and modulation of stress response markers. Mechanistic research is ongoing.

03 /What researchers explore it for

Researchers have explored Selank in stress response research, in cognition and learning task research models, and in research adjacent to anxiolytic pathways.

04 /Safety and interactions

Selank is commonly researched in combination with other CNS active research peptides such as Semax. Combinations of CNS active peptides should be investigated with care in research protocols. Selank is for laboratory research use only and is not for human consumption. Not medical advice. Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

05 /Research notes

Peptide family: tuftsin analogs. Frequently compared with Semax. Commonly delivered intranasally in research settings. The Apothify library lists Selank for encyclopedia coverage only.
