Selank

Selank is a heptapeptide analogue of tuftsin, a naturally occurring immunomodulatory peptide. It has been studied for its anxiolytic properties, specifically its ability to modulate stress response without the sedative effects associated with many compounds examined in this area. Research has explored its interaction with GABA receptor activity, its effects on serotonin and dopamine metabolism, and its role in regulating pro-inflammatory cytokines. In addition to its anxiolytic profile, Selank has attracted interest for its nootropic properties, with literature examining its effects on memory consolidation, learning, and cognitive performance.
