It is structurally an analog of the endogenous immunomodulatory tetrapeptide tuftsin (TKPR), extended at the C-terminus with a Pro-Gly-Pro tail that confers proteolytic stability and an amidated C-terminus. The tail extension dramatically extends plasma half-life relative to native tuftsin, which is degraded within minutes, while preserving the immunomodulatory activity of the parent peptide.<\/p>\n<p>Selank&#8217;s well-characterised sequence is TKPRPGP-NH<sub>2<\/sub>, molecular weight 751.88\u00a0Da, empirical formula C<sub>33<\/sub>H<sub>57<\/sub>N<sub>11<\/sub>O<sub>9<\/sub>. It is supplied as a high-purity lyophilized powder for reconstitution with bacteriostatic water. In Russia, Selank is approved as a prescription anxiolytic under the name Selank (intranasal spray); outside the post-Soviet bloc it is not approved by the FDA, EMA, MHRA, or any other major regulator. The research-grade Selank sold here is supplied <strong>uitsluitend voor laboratoriumonderzoek<\/strong> and is not approved for human or veterinary administration. For sister-peptide research, see our <a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/nl\/semax\/\">Semax<\/a> product page.<\/p>\n<h2>Mechanism of Action \u2014 GABAergic, Serotonergic, and BDNF Pathways<\/h2>\n<p>What makes Selank distinctive among anxiolytic research compounds is its <strong>multi-pathway neuromodulatory profile<\/strong> without direct receptor binding to the GABA<sub>A<\/sub> benzodiazepine site \u2014 each contributing to the observed anxiolytic and nootropic phenotype in published research:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>GABAergic modulation without benzodiazepine-site binding<\/strong> \u2014 Selank potentiates GABA-mediated inhibition through allosteric effects distinct from the benzodiazepine binding pocket. In rodent research models it raises seizure threshold and produces anxiolysis on elevated-plus-maze and open-field tests, but without the sedation, motor coordination loss, dependence liability, or rebound anxiety seen with diazepam. This distinct mode of GABA modulation is the most-studied aspect of Selank&#8217;s pharmacology.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Serotonergic and enkephalinergic signalling<\/strong> \u2014 Published research has documented increased serotonin metabolism (5-HIAA \/ 5-HT ratio) in cortical and limbic regions following Selank administration in rodents, alongside upregulation of enkephalin gene expression. The combined serotonergic and enkephalinergic signal is thought to contribute to mood-modulatory and stress-resilience effects in chronic-stress research models.<\/li>\n<li><strong>BDNF expression and neuroplasticity<\/strong> \u2014 Selank raises brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) expression in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex in published research, a mechanism increasingly recognised as central to the long-term effects of mood-modulatory compounds. BDNF upregulation also underpins Selank&#8217;s nootropic profile \u2014 improved memory consolidation and learning performance in rodent maze tasks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Selank is intranasally bioavailable (one of the very few peptides with documented mucosal absorption), which is the primary research route in published Russian and Eastern European studies. The intranasal route bypasses first-pass metabolism and delivers peptide directly across the cribriform plate into central compartments, producing CNS effects within minutes of administration. Subcutaneous administration is also documented in preclinical research and produces a similar pharmacological profile with slightly slower onset.<\/p>\n<h2>Gepubliceerde onderzoeksapplicaties<\/h2>\n<p>Selank is used in laboratory research contexts that investigate:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Anxiolytic pharmacology<\/strong> \u2014 elevated-plus-maze, open-field, social-interaction tests in rodent models of generalised anxiety; comparative arms against benzodiazepines (diazepam) and SSRIs (Kozlovskaya et al., Eksp Klin Farmakol; Inozemtsev et al., Bull Exp Biol Med)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stress resilience and HPA-axis research<\/strong> \u2014 chronic mild stress, restraint stress, and learned-helplessness models; cortisol and ACTH dynamics<\/li>\n<li><strong>BDNF and neuroplasticity research<\/strong> \u2014 hippocampal and prefrontal BDNF expression, dendritic spine morphology, long-term potentiation electrophysiology<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cognitive and memory research<\/strong> \u2014 Morris water maze, novel object recognition, passive avoidance; nootropic effects independent of anxiolysis<\/li>\n<li><strong>Immunomodulation<\/strong> \u2014 Selank inherits tuftsin&#8217;s immunomodulatory activity, with documented effects on cytokine balance (TNF-\u03b1, IL-6, IFN-\u03b3) and macrophage function in published research<\/li>\n<li><strong>Comparative research vs benzodiazepines<\/strong> \u2014 head-to-head with diazepam, alprazolam, and phenazepam on anxiolytic efficacy, dependence liability, and rebound; Selank&#8217;s clean withdrawal profile is one of the most-cited findings in the Russian literature<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sister-peptide research<\/strong> \u2014 benchmarking tegen <a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/nl\/semax\/\">Semax<\/a> (a sister heptapeptide from the same laboratory) for nootropic and neuroprotective effects.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For broader context on small-peptide neuromodulation and nootropic research, see <a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/nl\/semax\/\">Semax<\/a> as the canonical Russian-developed nootropic comparator, <a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/nl\/epitalon\/\">Epitalon<\/a> for pineal-peptide longevity research, and <a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/nl\/bpc-157\/\">BPC-157<\/a> for the parallel small-peptide healing-research compound.

For unopened long-term storage, freeze at \u221220\u00a0\u00b0C. Lyophilized Selank is stable under refrigeration for up to 24 months and at \u221220\u00a0\u00b0C for up to 36 months. Avoid freeze-thaw cycles on the lyophilized powder.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reconstitueringsprocedure:<\/strong> inject bacteriostatic water down the side wall of the peptide vial (not directly onto the lyophilized cake). For a 5\u00a0mg vial, 1.0\u00a0mL of bacteriostatic water yields a 5\u00a0mg\/mL working concentration; 0.1\u00a0mL delivers a 500\u00a0mcg research dose. Swirl gently \u2014 do <strong>niet<\/strong> shake \u2014 and allow 2\u20135 minutes for full dissolution. A correctly reconstituted solution should be clear and colourless.

Gooi elk flesje weg dat troebelheid, neerslag of verkleuring vertoont.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"faqs\">Veelgestelde vragen<\/h2>\n<h3>What is Selank used for in research?<\/h3>\n<p>Selank is used in laboratory research investigating anxiolytic pharmacology, stress resilience, BDNF and neuroplasticity, cognitive performance, immunomodulation, and head-to-head comparison against benzodiazepines. It is the most-cited Russian-developed anxiolytic peptide in the literature. The research-grade Selank sold here is <strong>niet<\/strong> FDA-goedgekeurd en wordt strikt geleverd voor laboratoriumonderzoek alleen.<\/p>\n<h3>How is Selank different from Semax?<\/h3>\n<p>Both are 7-amino-acid heptapeptides from the same Russian laboratory and share intranasal bioavailability, but their mechanisms differ. Selank is derived from the immunomodulatory peptide tuftsin and acts predominantly via GABAergic, enkephalinergic, and BDNF pathways \u2014 canonical research arm: anxiolysis. Semax is derived from ACTH(4-10) and acts via melanocortin receptors, BDNF, and dopaminergic modulation \u2014 canonical research arm: nootropic and neuroprotection. The two are frequently co-administered in research because the effects are complementary rather than overlapping.<\/p>\n<h3>What is the typical Selank research dose?<\/h3>\n<p>Published Russian protocols typically use 300\u2013900\u00a0mcg per day administered intranasally in 3 divided doses, or equivalent subcutaneous doses. A 5\u00a0mg vial reconstituted with 1.0\u00a0mL bacteriostatic water yields 5\u00a0mg\/mL \u2014 0.1\u00a0mL equals 500\u00a0mcg, a typical single-dose research aliquot.<\/p>\n<h3>Is Selank FDA approved?<\/h3>\n<p>No. Selank is not approved by the FDA, EMA, MHRA, or any major Western regulator. It is approved in Russia as a prescription anxiolytic under the brand name Selank (intranasal spray, ZAO Pharm-Sintez). All Selank sold by research-use-only suppliers outside Russia is for laboratory investigation and should not be administered to humans.<\/p>\n<h3>How should Selank be stored?<\/h3>\n<p>Gevriesdroogde flesjes: gekoeld bewaren bij 2\u20138 \u00b0C voor kortdurende werkvoorraad, of bij \u221220 \u00b0C voor langdurige opslag van ongeopende flesjes. Gereconstitueerde oplossing: gekoeld bewaren bij 2\u20138 \u00b0C, binnen 30 dagen gebruiken. Bevries de gereconstitueerde oplossing niet \u2014 vries-ontdooicycli degraderen het peptide. Bescherm te allen tijde tegen direct licht.<\/p>\n<h3>How do I reconstitute Selank?<\/h3>\n<p>Volg de hierboven beschreven reconstitutieprocedure. Voeg bacteriostatisch water toe langs de zijkant van het flesje (niet rechtstreeks op het gevriesdroogde poeder), draai voorzichtig en laat 2\u20135 minuten staan voor volledige oplossing. Schud <strong>niet<\/strong> shake the vial. A correctly reconstituted solution is clear and colourless. For a 5\u00a0mg vial + 1.0\u00a0mL diluent, the working concentration is 5\u00a0mg\/mL.<\/p>\n<h3>Welke sterktes heeft MedsBase op voorraad?<\/h3>\n<p>MedsBase carries Selank in 5\u00a0mg and 10\u00a0mg lyophilized vials. Each strength is available in 10-vial or 20-vial pack sizes. All vials are supplied at 99%+ HPLC purity with a certificate of analysis available on request.<\/p>\n<h3>Can Selank be administered intranasally in research?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes \u2014 intranasal administration is the primary research route in Russian and Eastern European published studies. Selank is one of the few peptides with documented intranasal bioavailability, attributable to its small size (7 aa, ~752 Da) and amidated C-terminus. The route bypasses first-pass metabolism and delivers peptide across the cribriform plate into central compartments within minutes of administration. Subcutaneous and intramuscular routes also work in preclinical models.<\/p>\n<h3>Can Selank and Semax be stacked in research?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. Selank and Semax are frequently co-administered in published research because their mechanisms are complementary. Selank provides anxiolytic and stress-buffering effects via GABA\/enkephalin\/BDNF pathways; Semax provides nootropic and neuroprotective effects via melanocortin\/dopaminergic\/BDNF pathways. The combination is particularly studied in research models of cognitive performance under stress.<\/p>\n<h3>Does Selank cause side effects in research?<\/h3>\n<p>Published preclinical and Russian clinical research has reported a notably clean safety profile at typical research doses, with no consistent sedation, motor-coordination effects, dependence liability, or rebound on discontinuation \u2014 in clear contrast to benzodiazepine comparator arms. Long-term safety data outside Russia is limited because the peptide has not undergone Western regulatory review.<\/p>\n<h3>What is the half-life of Selank?<\/h3>\n<p>In preclinical research, Selank has an estimated plasma half-life of approximately 15\u201330 minutes following intranasal administration, far longer than the parent peptide tuftsin (under 5 minutes). The short plasma half-life is offset by central-compartment accumulation following intranasal delivery and downstream effects on BDNF and gene expression that persist beyond plasma clearance.<\/p>\n<h3>How long does Selank take to show effects in preclinical research?<\/h3>\n<p>Acute anxiolytic effects on elevated-plus-maze and open-field tests are detectable within 30\u201360 minutes of intranasal administration.
