Selank

Selank is a synthetic peptide derived from the naturally occurring immunomodulatory tetrapeptide Tuftsin. Originally developed in Russia as an anxiolytic candidate, Selank has since become a subject of interest in neuroscience for its potential effects on cognitive function, emotional regulation, and stress-response pathways. Its structure allows it to interact with neural and immune systems, making it a unique molecule within neuropeptide research. Studies suggest that Selank may influence GABAergic activity, a major inhibitory neurotransmitter system associated with calmness and stress reduction. Research has also examined its impact on neurochemical balance, including modulation of serotonin, dopamine, and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF),…
