Selank

Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide derived from the naturally occurring immunomodulatory peptide tuftsin. It was developed to study potential effects on the nervous and immune systems, with particular interest in its anxiolytic (anti-anxiety), neuroprotective, and cognitive-modulating properties.

In scientific research, Selank is investigated for its ability to influence neurotransmitter systems involved in stress and mood regulation, including effects on serotonin, dopamine, and GABA-related pathways. It is also studied for its potential to enhance learning, memory formation, and cognitive stability under stress conditions.

Additionally, Selank has been examined for its immunomodulatory activity, suggesting it may help regulate immune response and inflammation in experimental models. It is primarily used in laboratory and preclinical studies focused on neurobiology, psychiatry, and immune system regulation to better understand peptide-based mechanisms of stress adaptation and cognitive function.
