Selank
Selank is a synthetic peptide developed from the naturally occurring human tetrapeptide tuftsin, which plays a role in immune regulation. It has been studied for its potential nootropic (cognitive-enhancing), anxiolytic (anti-anxiety), and immune-supportive effects. Selank is designed to cross the blood-brain barrier and interact with brain chemistry without the side effects of traditional anti-anxiety medications.

What is Selank?
Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide based on the naturally occurring tetrapeptide tuftsin, which is involved in immune function. Developed by the Institute of Molecular Genetics in Russia, Selank has been studied for its anxiolytic (anti-anxiety), nootropic (cognitive-enhancing), and immune-modulating effects. It's classified as a neuropeptide and is typically administered intranasally for rapid central nervous system absorption.
Potential Benefits Shown in Studies
- Reducing anxiety and stress without sedation
- Enhancing focus, clarity, and mental performance
- Supporting memory and learning processes
- Improving mood and emotional stability
- Strengthening immune system response
- Regulating serotonin and dopamine levels
- Reducing symptoms of fatigue and mental fog
Mechanisms of Action
Selank works by:
- Modulating GABA neurotransmission, enhancing the brain's calming response
- Increasing levels of serotonin and dopamine, improving mood and focus
- Regulating the balance of cytokines, contributing to immune system support
- Protecting against oxidative stress and mental fatigue
- Enhancing BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor), supporting neural plasticity
It produces a tranquilizing effect without sedation, cognitive dulling, or dependence — unlike many pharmaceutical anxiolytics.

Molecular Properties
Selank Research Highlights
Clinical studies in humans and animal models show Selank significantly reduces anxiety and improves stress tolerance, without sedation or withdrawal.
Selank improves attention, memory recall, and mental clarity, especially under stress or fatigue — making it of interest for nootropic use.
Selank influences the expression of interleukins and cytokines, showing immunomodulatory effects that may enhance defense against infections and inflammation.
It has demonstrated neuroprotective properties, including oxidative stress reduction and BDNF activation, which support long-term brain health.
