Selank

Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide derived from tuftsin, an immunomodulatory peptide. This modified peptide has enhanced stability and CNS penetration. Researchers study Selank for its effects on anxiety, cognitive function, and neurotransmitter systems in laboratory settings.

Scientific research on Selank examines its anxiolytic and cognitive-enhancing effects. Studies focus on its influence on GABA, serotonin, and dopamine neurotransmission, brain-derived neurotrophic factor expression, and stress response modulation. Researchers investigate its mechanisms involving enkephalin metabolism, neurotransmitter balance, and neuroprotective signaling pathways in experimental models.
