What Is Selank and What Is It Used for in Research?
Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide derived from the immunopeptide tuftsin. It is studied in vitro and in preclinical models of anxiety-related behaviour, neuropeptide signalling, and BDNF expression.
How Does Selank Work in Preclinical Research Models?
Selank is studied as a regulatory peptide influencing GABAergic and monoaminergic signalling and expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor. These pathways underpin its use in neuropeptide and behavioural models.

What Does Third-Party Testing Confirm About Selank?
Representative research lots are analysed by third-party HPLC to confirm identity and purity greater than 99%, supported by manufacturer QC and our own random batch testing. A COA documenting the representative batch result is available to purchasers.

What Are the Storage and Stability Requirements for Selank in a Research Setting?
Store lyophilised Selank at -20°C protected from light, where it is stable for approximately 24 months. After reconstitution, refrigerate at 2-8°C and use within about 2-4 weeks.
Aliquot to minimise freeze-thaw cycles. These are general standard-practice handling specifications.
How Is Selank Reconstituted for Preclinical Research Use?
Reconstitute Selank with bacteriostatic water (or sterile water for single-use work), adding solvent slowly down the vial wall and swirling gently rather than shaking. Allow full dissolution before dilution.
Store the reconstituted solution refrigerated. Research context only — no dosing or human-use guidance is provided.
What Are the Documented Research Applications of Selank?
Anxiolytic Behavioural Models
Studied as a regulatory peptide in anxiety-related behavioural research.
BDNF and Neurotrophic Signalling
Investigated for effects on brain-derived neurotrophic factor expression.
Neuroimmune Modulation
Examined as a tuftsin-derived peptide in neuroimmune research.
How Does Selank Compare to Semax in Research?
Selank and Semax are both short regulatory neuropeptides studied in Russian neuroscience research, but address different domains. Selank is a tuftsin analogue studied for anxiolytic and neuroimmune effects, while Semax is an ACTH(4-7) analogue studied for cognitive and neuroprotective signalling.
Researchers choose Selank for anxiety and neuroimmune questions and Semax for cognition and neuroprotection questions.
