Selank

Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide derived from tuftsin, a naturally occurring immunomodulatory peptide. It was developed to explore its potential effects on anxiety regulation, cognitive function, and immune signaling pathways.

Selank has been studied for its interaction with the central nervous system, particularly its influence on neurotransmitter systems involved in mood and stress response.

In laboratory and clinical research settings, Selank has been investigated for its potential role in:

• Supporting stress resilience

• Modulating anxiety-related pathways

• Influencing GABAergic signaling

• Supporting cognitive clarity and memory processes

• Modulating immune system activity

Research suggests Selank may influence the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and interact with GABA and serotonin systems, which are involved in mood regulation and emotional balance. Unlike traditional anxiolytic medications, it has been studied for its potential to support calmness without pronounced sedative effects in research models.

Selank has also demonstrated immunomodulatory properties in experimental studies, potentially influencing cytokine balance and inflammatory signaling.

While Selank has been evaluated in certain clinical studies, broader regulatory approval and large-scale international trials remain limited. Further research is ongoing to clarify its mechanisms of action, long-term safety, and potential therapeutic applications.
