Selank Product Introduction
Overview Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide and a structural analog of the immunomodulatory tetrapeptide tuftsin, developed by the Institute of Molecular Genetics of the Russian Academy of Sciences. It is widely studied for its anxiolytic and nootropic properties and is commonly supplied as a white lyophilized powder for research use. Key identifiers: CAS 129954-34-3, C33H57N11O9, MW 751.88 g/mol1245.Reported benefits and research findings
Anxiolytic and stress‑reducing effects in preclinical and clinical research contexts.
Nootropic activity with reported benefits for memory and learning processes.
Immunomodulatory actions, including regulation of IL‑6 and modulation of T‑helper cytokine balance.
Neuroprotective potential observed in animal studies, including effects on markers such as nestin and doublecortin following chronic administration.
In vitro, Selank has been reported to inhibit enkephalin‑degrading enzymes from human serum.
Human clinical use and regulatory status vary by country; in markets such as the United States, Selank is not FDA‑approved and is sold strictly for research purposes1249.
Usage and handling This product is intended for research use only and must not be used for human or veterinary purposes. Reconstitute the lyophilized peptide in sterile water (≥18 MΩ·cm) to at least 100 µg/mL, then further dilute as needed; avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles. For long‑term storage, aliquot and keep at ≤ –70°C (or ≤ –18°C short term). Always wear appropriate PPE and follow laboratory safety procedures259.
