Selank 5 mg — Research Consultation
Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide based on a modified sequence of the endogenous immunomodulator tuftsin. Published Russian-language and translated research describes effects on GABAergic, serotonergic, and BDNF signalling pathways, with particular focus on anxiolytic-research and cognitive-research models.
What Selank is
Selank (Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg-Pro-Gly-Pro) is a synthetic seven-amino-acid peptide developed at the Institute of Molecular Genetics of the Russian Academy of Sciences as a stabilised analogue of tuftsin. The published research base is substantially in Russian-language journals, with a growing corpus of English-language reviews summarising the findings.
What the published literature covers
Published research describes Selank effects on anxiety-related behaviour in rodent models, GABAergic and serotonergic pathway interactions, BDNF expression, and immune-modulatory activity through the tuftsin-mimetic mechanism. Translated reviews of the Russian literature suggest a favourable tolerability profile in early-phase human studies.
Quality verification
Lyophilised Selank manufactured under ICH Q7 GMP standards, with independent HPLC verification at a US-based third-party laboratory. Peak-area purity ≥98% against pharmacopoeia reference standards. COA available through the in-chat consultation.
Common research questions
- Is Selank legal in the UAE?
- Selank is classified as a research compound in the UAE and is sold through standard wellness-supply channels with VAT compliance applied to every dispatch.
- What dose ranges does the published research describe?
- Published human research has used intranasal delivery at 250-500 mcg daily in clinical studies. In the grey-research community, intranasal and subcutaneous protocols both appear, typically 200-400 mcg per administration. No consensus optimal protocol exists outside of the Russian clinical research.
- Selank vs. Semax — what is the difference?
- Semax is a melanocortin-derived heptapeptide developed at the same institute, focused on neuroprotective and cognitive research. Selank is tuftsin-derived and focused on anxiolytic and immune-modulatory research. Both are stabilised C-terminal-Pro-Gly-Pro analogues; their CNS-active pharmacology differs.
- Is Selank delivered intranasally or by injection?
- Intranasal delivery is the route most often described in the Russian clinical literature. Subcutaneous injection is used in some animal-research protocols. The choice sits with the researcher.
- How is purity verified?
- HPLC peak-area purity (≥98%) at a US-based third-party laboratory. COA available through the chat.
- Shelf life and storage?
- Lyophilised powder is ambient-temperature stable in transit; -20°C long-term storage; refrigerated post-reconstitution per the supplied protocol.
- How fast is delivery in the UAE?
- Same-day delivery within Dubai, next-business-day across the rest of the UAE.
