Product Description

Overview
Selank is a synthetic research peptide with the amino acid sequence Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg-Pro-Gly-Pro (TKPRPGP). Selank peptide is a stabilized analogue of tuftsin, an endogenous immunomodulatory tetrapeptide, extended with three natural L-amino acids to enhance metabolic stability and prolong duration of action. Developed by the Institute of Molecular Genetics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, this Selank heptapeptide is classified as a neuropsychotropic agent with demonstrated anxiolytic and nootropic properties.
Mechanism of Action

Selank exerts its effects through multiple interconnected mechanisms, including GABAergic modulation, inhibition of enkephalin-degrading enzymes, upregulation of BDNF expression, monoamine neurotransmitter modulation, and immunomodulation through cytokine gene expression and interferon release.

Research Applications
  • Anxiety and Stress Research: Investigated for its pronounced anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) and antistress effects, without the sedative, amnestic, or addictive properties associated with traditional anxiolytics like benzodiazepines.
  • Cognitive Enhancement and Nootropic Studies: Employed in research to evaluate its positive influence on memory formation and learning processes.
  • Immunomodulation and Antiviral Research: Studied for its ability to modulate the immune system and for its demonstrated antiviral activity against various viruses including influenza A (H3N2), herpes simplex virus (HSV-1 and HSV-2), and cytomegalovirus (CMV).
  • Neurodegenerative Disease Models: Used in preclinical models to investigate its potential neuroprotective effects in conditions involving cognitive decline and neuronal damage.
