About this compound
Molecular Specifications
Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide (Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg-Pro-Gly-Pro) developed at the Institute of Molecular Genetics of the Russian Academy of Sciences as a stabilized analog of tuftsin — an endogenous immunomodulatory tetrapeptide (Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg). Selank has published Phase 1 and Phase 2 clinical data for anxiety-related conditions, making it one of the more clinically characterized research peptides in the nootropic and anxiolytic research space.
GABA-A and Anxiolytic Research
Published research has investigated Selank's interactions with the GABAergic system, particularly GABA-A receptor modulation. Studies in rodent models have documented anxiolytic effects in standardized anxiety assays (elevated plus maze, open field test) with a different mechanism profile than benzodiazepines — Selank does not appear to cause tolerance or withdrawal effects in animal models at studied doses.
Additional mechanistic research has examined Selank's effects on: enkephalin metabolism (enkephalinase inhibition), BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor) expression in hippocampal and cortical tissue, and serotonin and dopamine system interactions in rodent behavioral models.
Research Applications
- GABA-A receptor modulation and anxiolytic mechanism research
- Enkephalin degradation pathway studies
- BDNF expression research in neural tissue
- Anxiety behavioral pharmacology in rodent models
- Immunomodulatory pathway research (NK cell, T-cell biology)
- Nootropic mechanism research — memory and learning models
Storage & Handling
Store lyophilized powder at −20°C for long-term stability; short-term 2–8°C is acceptable. Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water; keep refrigerated at 2–8°C after reconstitution and use within typical research timelines.
