| Ingredients | Active ingredient: Selank (heptapeptide Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg-Pro-Gly-Pro in N-acetyl or diacetate form). Purity is generally ≥98% (research/pharmaceutical grade). Formulations may contain stabilizers and buffering components (e.g., physiological saline). |
|---|---|
| Storage | Before reconstitution (lyophilized powder): refrigerate at 2–8°C or freeze at -20°C, protect from light and moisture; suitable for long-term storage. After reconstitution: store refrigerated (2–8°C) and typically use within 2–4 weeks. Nasal spray formulations should be stored according to the product label, avoiding high temperatures and direct sunlight. |

Description
Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide with the chemical sequence Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg-Pro-Gly-Pro. It is an optimized analog of the natural immunomodulatory peptide Tuftsin, developed by the Institute of Molecular Genetics of the Russian Academy of Sciences. It is approved as a pharmaceutical in Russia (nasal spray), while in other regions it is primarily used as a research peptide or compounding preparation. Selank is neuroactive and possesses dual anxiolytic and nootropic properties. It does not belong to the benzodiazepine class and does not cause significant sedation, dependence, or cognitive impairment. This content is intended for research and reference purposes only and should not be construed as medical advice.
Effects
Anxiolytic and anti-stress: rapid relief of anxiety, tension, and stress responses; stabilizes mood, comparable to low-dose benzodiazepines but without notable side effects. Cognitive enhancement: improves attention, memory, learning capacity, and mental clarity. Antidepressant and mood-regulating effects: alleviates depressive symptoms and anhedonia, increases BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor) expression, and promotes neuroplasticity. Immunomodulation: may enhance immune function and support immune suppression caused by viral infection or stress. Other: adjunctive support for withdrawal symptoms (alcohol/opioids), improved sleep quality, and neuroprotective effects.
Usage
Common routes of administration: nasal spray (most common and convenient), subcutaneous injection (SC). Reference dosage (for reference only; follow medical advice): Nasal spray: 200–300 μg per administration, 1–3 times daily. Injection: 250–500 μg per administration, 1–2 times daily. Course: typically 10–14 days per cycle, may be repeated as needed. Reconstitution (injectable form): reconstitute the lyophilized powder with bacteriostatic water, swirl gently to mix, and avoid shaking. Onset is relatively rapid; anxiolytic effects are typically felt within hours to a few days.
Not suitable for
Contraindicated in pregnant or breastfeeding women and individuals under 18 years of age. Use with caution in individuals with severe psychiatric disorders or those taking other psychotropic medications. May have synergistic effects with GABA-related drugs. It remains a research compound in most regions worldwide, and long-term human safety data are limited. Consult a physician before use.
Questions about Selank
What is the intended use of Selank?
Research reagents are intended solely for laboratory and in-vitro research. Suitability for a particular experiment must be assessed using the exact specification and available documentation. Accessories and consumables must be used according to their own specifications and documented intended use.
Can research reagents be used by or administered to people?
No. Research reagents are not for human use, diagnosis, treatment, prevention, clinical procedures or self-medication. A research-use label does not authorize use in people.
How can I verify the identity of Selank?
No CAS number is published on this page. Do not infer the material's identity from its name. Request identification details and documentation for the exact product from the supplier.
Is a certificate of analysis (COA) available for Selank?
No COA is currently published on this page in the selected language. Ask the supplier about documents for the exact batch before use; availability is not guaranteed. A COA does not establish safety for human use or medical approval.
Does a purity result or COA establish safety for human use?
No. A reported purity result describes the sample and test recorded in the document. It does not establish safety for human use, clinical suitability or medical approval. Review the method, batch identity and relevant specifications for your laboratory work.
How should Selank be stored and handled?
The storage information published for this product is: Before reconstitution (lyophilized powder): refrigerate at 2–8°C or freeze at -20°C, protect from light and moisture; suitable for long-term storage. After reconstitution: store refrigerated (2–8°C) and typically use within 2–4 weeks. Nasal spray formulations should be stored according to the product label, avoiding high temperatures and direct sunlight.. Confirm the batch-specific storage and handling instructions with the supplier before receipt and use.
Does an available shipping option mean the product can be imported?
No. A shipping quote at checkout is not import authorization. Before ordering, verify whether the exact product and quantity are admissible at the destination and what purchasing, import, documentation and use requirements apply.
What should I confirm before procurement?
Match the SKU, specification and batch or lot identifier to your research requirements. Request any required COA and safety documentation and confirm availability before ordering; documents are not guaranteed to be available. Also verify applicable requirements at the destination.
