Selank
Also known as: N-Acetyl Selank · Tuftsin Analog · TP-7
A synthetic heptapeptide derived from tuftsin that exhibits anxiolytic, nootropic, and immunomodulatory effects. Considered a milder anxiolytic counterpart to Semax with a strong safety profile.
Mechanism of Action
Selank modulates GABA-A receptors, serotonin, and enkephalin systems. It also regulates BDNF expression and is immunomodulatory via IL-6 and interferon modulation.
Amino Acid Sequence (7 AAs)
Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg-Pro-Gly-Pro

Storage & Reconstitution Guide
Storage Temperature
-20°C lyophilized, 4°C reconstituted
24 months (lyophilized), 28 days (reconstituted)
Reconstitution Solvent
Saline (0.9% NaCl) for nasal spray
Swirl gently — do not shake or vortex
Handling Notes
Protect lyophilized peptide from moisture and light. Once reconstituted, keep refrigerated. Discard if solution becomes cloudy or discolored. Use insulin syringe for precise dosing.
Step-by-Step Reconstitution
Gather supplies
BAC water, insulin syringe, alcohol swabs, vial
Disinfect tops
Swab rubber stoppers of both vials with alcohol
Draw BAC water
Pull desired mL of BAC water into syringe
Inject slowly
Inject BAC water down the side of the peptide vial, swirl gently to dissolve

More in Cognitive & Nootropic
EDR tetrapeptide
A synthetic tripeptide (Glu-Asp-Arg) from the Khavinson peptide bioregulator series targeting the brain and pineal gland. Reduces neuronal apoptosis, improves cognitive function in aging models, and normalizes circadian rhythm disruption. Distinct from Epithalon despite also targeting the pineal gland.
Cerebral cortex peptide bioregulator
A peptide bioregulator targeting the cerebral cortex and CNS from the Khavinson series. Normalizes cortical neuron function, reduces age-related neurodegeneration, and improves cognitive function. Particularly studied for age-associated cognitive decline, vascular dementia, and post-stroke recovery.
GVS-111
A synthetic dipeptide nootropic approximately 1000x more potent than piracetam. Stimulates BDNF and NGF expression with significant neuroprotective and cognitive-enhancing effects.
FPF-1070
A complex mixture of low-molecular-weight neuropeptides derived from porcine brain proteins. The only peptide-based nootropic with robust clinical evidence for Alzheimer disease and brain injury.
