Selank is a synthetic derivative of the human body’s naturally produced tetrapeptide Tuftsin. It is a hexapeptide whith a wide range of uses. It was first sinthesized in the late 1990’s by the Institute of Molecular Genetics of the Russian Academy of Science. Selank is used as an anxiolytic in the therapy of anxiety and phobic disorders, including generalized anxiety. Its action is similar to that of mild benzodiazepins but without the sedative effects.
Selank, as well as a related peptide drug, semax, have been found to inhibit enzymes involved in the degradation of enkephalins and other endogenous regulatory peptides, and this action may be involved in their effects.
Selank effects:
Experimental and clinical studies showed the following pharmaclogical effects of Selank:
improvement of learning and memory processes
increased sensory attention
increased curiosity
increased mental clarity
restoration of balance of serotonergic and noradrenergic brain system activity
anti-anxiety – inhibition of anxiety
antiviral activity with no negative effects
psychostimulant, anti-asthenic – increased mental energy
stabilization of mood and overall feeling of wellbeing
reversal of anhedonia
potential restoration of catecholaminergic system functions after damage due to drug abuse reference
Selank dosage:

1. Selank as nasal spray or drops (less effective):
duration: from 10 days to as long as needed

daily frequency:total daily dosage split into 3 doses throughout the day
2. Injectable Selank use (more effective):
duration: from 10 days to as long as needed
dosage: between 250 mcg – 3 mg per day
frequency of injection:1 injection per day for low dose, 2 injections for higher dose (divided between morning and late afternoon injection)
