Description
Selank Spray (10 mg)
Research-Grade Heptapeptide Nasal Formula
Tagline: Anxiolytic & Cognitive Research
Product Description
Selank is a synthetic analog of the immunomodulatory peptide tuftsin, developed in Russia to explore neuropsychiatric, cognitive, and immune modulation pathways. In nasal spray format, it provides a non-invasive delivery route for central nervous system access.
Researchers use Selank nasal spray to investigate its effects on anxiety modulation, memory enhancement, neuroprotection, and immunoregulatory signaling in in vivo and ex vivo models.
For Laboratory and Scientific Research Use Only. Not for Human Consumption.
Why Researchers Choose Selank Nasal Spray
-
Rapid CNS Access: Intranasal delivery may bypass first-pass metabolism and support central effects.

Research Applications
Anxiety & Mood Regulation
Selank has been studied for its anxiolytic effects: in human and animal trials, it showed reduced anxiety without sedation, possibly via modulation of GABAergic and serotonin systems. [Filatova et al. 2017]
Cognitive Enhancement & Memory
Selank has been shown to increase expression of BDNF in hippocampal regions and improve memory retention in stress-induced cognitive decline models. [Inozemtseva et al. 2008]
Immune & Inflammatory Modulation
Derived from tuftsin, Selank exhibits immunoregulatory activity—modulating cytokine levels (e.g., IL-6) in stress models and influencing T-cell responses. [Volkova et al. 2016]
Neuroprotection & Stress Resilience
In preclinical studies, Selank showed protective effects in neuronal injury and chronic stress models, reducing cell death, stabilizing neurotransmitters, and preserving neuronal architecture. [Markov et al. 2023]
