Selank (Selank) 10 mg

Selanc

Selank is a synthetically derived heptapeptide version of tuftsin, a naturally occurring immunopeptide with several very useful nootropic and immunomodulatory effects demonstrated in clinical studies. Originally created at the Institute of Molecular Genetics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Selank is similar to Semax, both in its discovery at the aforementioned institute and in its beneficial effects on the immune system and brain function.

In studies conducted on both animals and human subjects, scientists who studied Selank observed profound anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) and antidepressant effects.  effects. Moreover, like the natural peptide tuftsin, it was shown that Selank has an immunoprotective effect. In addition, studies also observed improvement in concentration, increased learning ability, and restoration of research activity in subjects with brain-damaged rats. Further studies also showed that Selank restores vital cognitive processes in artificially damaged rats braking. Ultimately,

What is Selank?

Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide with the structure Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg-Pro-Gly-Pro. As mentioned earlier, Selank imitates many effects and mechanisms of action of the naturally occurring peptide tuftsin. Thanks to its natural origin and simple peptide structure (it consists of seven amino acids), Selank is extremely well tolerated by subjects of clinical studies. In scientific studies, an almost complete absence was observed toxicity even at high concentrations of overdose. In addition, it was noted that Selank has a very selective and targeted effect on research subjects, which further stimulates research into future therapeutic applications.

A 2009 study showed that one of the ways in which Selank is able to exert its beneficial effects is by modulating the natural compound serotonin. In the study, scientists compared the effects of both Selank and its natural analogue tuftsin on serotonin metabolism. Although tuftsin did not have a noticeable effect on serotonin metabolism, Selank observed an increase in serotonin metabolism in the brain stem only 30 minutes after reception. In turn, this revealed another possible path of Selanka's research, namely, as a future drug for dysfunction in serotonin metabolism.

In further studies on rats, the researchers noted that in addition to increasing serotonin metabolism, Selank is also very effective in improving the learning and memory processes of rat subjects. In the experiment, rat subjects underwent 30 trials per day, after which they received a reward (food). After the tenth test, Selank or physiological saline (for the control group) was administered to the test animals . 30 minutes after the introduction, the researchers of the study developed conditioned reflexes of the subjects with a reward, and the memory of the subjects was measured 1 day, 7 days and 1 month after the treatment. The researchers found that a single introduction of Selanka effectively improved serotonin metabolism in the subjects' brain stems for up to 2 hours after this. In the result, The stability of the memory trace was significant improved, demonstrating that Selank can indeed improve memory and memory for memory. The researchers concluded that this beneficial effect was most likely caused by the modulation of serotonin by Selanka's metabolism.

Additional studies have shown that Selank also has a beneficial effect on other important neurotransmitters in the brain. A study conducted in 2008 showed that Selank was able to increase the level of norepinephrine in the brain of experimental mice shortly after administration. On the contrary, the levels of other monoamine neurotransmitters remained unchanged. As a result, the researchers concluded that Selank is very specific and aimed at its effect on neurotransmitters, which is a desirable quality of a potential future therapeutic agent.
