Selank 5MG Peptide - 99% Pure Peptide | PeptiUAE

Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide (a chain of seven amino acids: Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg-Pro-Gly-Pro) that serves as an analogue of the endogenous peptide tuftsin. It was developed at the Institute of Molecular Genetics of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

In research and clinical contexts (primarily in Russia), it is studied for its potential properties as a nootropic (cognitive-enhancing) and anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) agent, as well as for its immunomodulatory potential.

Scientific Overview

Selank is investigated in preclinical and limited clinical research for several biological actions:

• Anxiolytic Activity: Studies suggest it may modulate the GABAergic system—similar to how some benzodiazepines work—but potentially without the common side effects such as dependence, amnesia, or withdrawal symptoms.

• Nootropic and Neuroprotective Effects: Research has explored its ability to influence neurotransmitter levels (such as serotonin, dopamine, and noradrenaline) and increase the expression of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), which is associated with synaptic plasticity and memory formation.

• Immunomodulation: Because it is derived from tuftsin (an immune-related peptide), Selank is studied for its ability to influence cytokine production and its potential antiviral properties.
