Selank 129954-34-3

Selank (CAS No. 129954-34-3) is a synthetic heptapeptide derived from the naturally occurring immunomodulatory peptide tuftsin. Selank has gained attention in neuroscience and psychopharmacology research due to its anxiolytic, cognitive-enhancing, and neuroprotective properties.

Product Description

Key Features & Advantages

 

Reduces Anxiety and Stress

 

Selank exhibits potent anxiolytic effects without causing sedation. It helps modulate the central nervous system’s stress response and is widely used in research on anxiety and mood disorders.

 

Enhances Cognitive Function

 

Research shows that Selank can improve memory, learning, and attention by influencing neurotrophic factors and neurotransmitter regulation, making it valuable in studies of cognition and neuroplasticity.

 

Supports Neuroprotection

 

Selank has demonstrated neuroprotective effects in preclinical studies, reducing oxidative stress and supporting neuronal survival, which is important for neurodegenerative and neurological research.

 

Immune System Modulation

 

Selank influences immune function by modulating cytokine expression and immune signaling pathways, linking neuroendocrine regulation with immune response.

 

Safe and Well-Tolerated

 

Selank is highly purified and non-toxic, making it suitable for long-term experimental and preclinical studies in vitro and in vivo.
