Selank: research overview

Selank is a synthetic peptide developed in Russia and studied in the cognitive and mood research category. Based on a fragment of the immune peptide tuftsin, it is frequently studied and grouped alongside Semax.

What is Selank?

Selank is a short synthetic peptide derived from tuftsin, modified for stability. It was developed in Russia and is studied in the cognitive, mood, and anxiety-related research category.

What research has explored

In research, Selank has been investigated for its interaction with anxiety-related and neuroimmune signaling pathways. These are research findings, not established human outcomes; Selank is studied as a research material only.

Selank and Semax

Selank and Semax are both short Russian-developed research peptides in the cognitive and mood category. In broad terms, Selank is studied more around anxiety-related pathways and Semax more around cognition and neuroprotection. Both appear in the research peptide catalog.

Forms & handling in the lab

Selank ships as a lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder, commonly in 10 mg research vials. Before use it is reconstituted with bacteriostatic water; the water volume you add sets the concentration in mg/mL.

Storage & stability

• Lyophilized powder - most stable form; keep frozen or refrigerated and protected from light until reconstituted.
• Reconstituted solution - refrigerate at roughly 2-8 °C; as a general research guideline, use within about 28 days.
• Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles, heat, and shaking, which can degrade the compound.
