Selank is a synthetic analog of the immunomodulatory peptide tuftsin, developed alongside Semax at the Russian Academy of Sciences. It modulates IL-6 and GABA neurotransmission, producing pronounced anxiolytic effects without sedation or cognitive impairment. Research shows Selank stabilizes enkephalin degradation in the blood, enhancing the body's endogenous stress-response system. It has been studied for generalized anxiety, cognitive flexibility, and immune regulation — and is notable for its complete absence of addiction potential or withdrawal symptoms.
