Overview
The cognitive and neuro-research peptides here are studied for neurotrophic and neuromodulatory signaling, largely in preclinical and early clinical literature. Evidence depth varies widely across the group, so this guide states the strength of the published record for each compound plainly rather than implying a uniform effect.
A synthetic analog of tuftsin studied for anxiolytic-type and immunomodulatory signaling in CNS research.
Evidence at a glance: Preclinical (animal) evidence
The cited evidence here is preclinical animal-model work, with limited or no human-trial data. Read the research profile accordingly.

Researched mechanism
Studied for GABAergic and immunomodulatory signaling in preclinical CNS models.
Described as a mechanism characterized in the literature, not an effect you should expect from use.
What the published research shows
Anxiolytic-type effects in rodent behavioral models.
Honest note on evidence: Evidence is largely preclinical.
Every citation states its study type and population, so preclinical data is never presented as human-efficacy evidence.
How it compares
| Versus | Attribute | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Semax | Focus | Semax is studied for neurotrophic signaling; Selank for anxiolytic. |
Reconstitution
Concentration math only: adding bacteriostatic water to the vial gives the resulting mg/mL shown below. This is not usage guidance.
| Vial | Bacteriostatic water | Concentration |
|---|---|---|
| 10 mg | 1 mL | 10 mg/mL |
Storage & stability
| State | Temperature | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Lyophilized (unopened) | -20°C | 24 months |
| Reconstituted | 2–8°C | up to 4 weeks |
Common questions
Is Selank a benzodiazepine?+
No. It is a peptide studied for anxiolytic-type signaling by a different mechanism.
