About Selank
Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide developed by the Institute of Molecular Genetics of the Russian Academy of Sciences. It was derived from tuftsin, a tetrapeptide with immunomodulatory properties, with a stabilizing extension. Selank has anxiolytic (anxiety-reducing) properties and is classified as a nootropic peptide.
Unlike conventional benzodiazepine anxiolytics, Selank does not appear to cause sedation, tolerance, or withdrawal. Its mechanism is thought to involve modulation of the GABAergic system and stabilization of enkephalins (endogenous opioid peptides). Research has also explored its effects on serotonin, dopamine, and BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor) levels.
Selank is approved in Russia as an anxiolytic medication. In research contexts outside Russia, it is studied for anxiety reduction, cognitive enhancement, mood stabilization, and immune modulation. It is typically administered via subcutaneous injection or intranasal route.
Selank is supplied in 10mg vials. Using 2ml of bacteriostatic water gives 5,000 mcg/ml. Common research doses range from 250–750mcg, administered 1–2 times daily. It has a relatively short half-life of 1–2 hours.
