Selank
Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide derived from the naturally occurring immune peptide tuftsin. It was developed in Russia and has been studied primarily as an anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) and nootropic (cognitive-enhancing) peptide
Potential benefits
Research suggests Selank may help with:
- Reducing anxiety without significant sedation
- Improving stress resilience
- Enhancing focus and mental clarity
- Supporting learning and memory
- Potentially improving mood
- Modulating certain immune responses
How it works
Selank appears to influence several brain signaling systems rather than acting as a traditional stimulant:
- Modulates GABA signaling, which is involved in calming neural activity.
- Affects serotonin and dopamine pathways that regulate mood and motivation.
- May increase levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which supports neuroplasticity and learning.
- May inhibit the breakdown of enkephalins, naturally occurring peptides involved in pain modulation and mood.
Administration
Most clinical and research experience has been with:
- Intranasal spray, which is the route used in Russia.
- Injectable formulations are available in some research settings but are less well studied.
Possible side effects
Reported side effects are generally mild and may include:
- Nasal irritation (with intranasal use)
- Headache
- Mild fatigue or dizziness
- Temporary irritability in some individuals
Long-term safety data outside Russian clinical use remain limited.
Evidence
Selank has shown promising results in preclinical studies and smaller human studies, particularly those conducted in Russia. However, it has not been approved by the U.S. FDA, and larger, high-quality randomized clinical trials are still needed before its benefits and risks can be established to current international standards
