What Is Selank Peptide?
Selank is a synthetic peptide derived from tuftsin, another peptide vital for the immune system. As an anxiolytic peptide drug, selank can help patients improve anxiety and depression, learning, memory, and cognition.
But hold on a second!
What is “tuftsin,” and why do scientists synthesize selank based on it?
Tuftsin is an endogenous peptide (a naturally occurring compound in the human body) that also shows anxiolytic effects. The peptide was named after “Tufts University,” where it was first discovered in 1983.
Usually, the amount and concentration of the natural tuftsin in our bodies are minimal. However, when the body is under stress, it releases more tuftsin to settle down the stressor and calm the body.
Unfortunately, the lifespan of tuftsin is very short, no more than several minutes, meaning its effects on our nervous system is transient. To prolong the effects of tuftsin, scientists are working on another synthetic peptide that mimics it but with higher stability.
And here comes the emergence of selank.
What does Selank do for you?
Selank has pronounced anxiolytic activity and acts as a stable neuropsychotropic, antidepressant, and antistress drug that relieves aggression and fear reaction in different animal species (Kozlovskii and Danchev, 2002; Sollertinskaya et al., 2008; Semenova et al., 2010).
Does Selank really work?
Clinical studies have shown that the anxiolytic effect of Selank is comparable to the effect of low doses of the benzodiazepine tranquilizers; however, the action of Selank is not accompanied by the characteristic side effects of those drugs.
Is Selank natural?
Selank is a synthetic analogue of the immunomodulatory peptide tuftsin; as such, it mimics many of its effects. It has been shown to modulate the expression of Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and affect the balance of T helper cell cytokines.
What is the history of Selank?
Selank is a peptide designed as an analogue of the human body's naturally produced tetrapeptide tuftsin. It was developed in Russia in the early 2000s and since then has been studied extensively for its potential therapeutic properties.
What peptides increase mood?
One peptide called hypocretin has been found to boost mood in humans, which can help ease stress and anxiety. Another peptide, called melanin-concentrating hormone (MHT), increases sleep quality, which can help alleviate the symptoms of various mental health concerns.
