NA-Selank Amidate 30mg
Nootropic research compound for cognitive studies.
Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide analog of tuftsin developed at the Institute of Molecular Genetics of the Russian Academy of Sciences. It is primarily studied in anxiolytic, immunomodulatory, and cognitive-enhancement research contexts.
Proposed mechanism
Selank modulates GABAergic and serotonergic neurotransmission and has documented effects on cytokine expression and BDNF levels in rodent research. It is often studied for its combination of anxiolytic and nootropic-like properties.
Research highlights
- Synthetic analog of the natural immunomodulator tuftsin
- Studied in anxiolytic, nootropic, and immune-research contexts
- Available as injectable Selank and stabilized NA-Selank (N-acetylated)
- Developed in the Russian neuropharmacology tradition
Research protocol notes
Both intranasal and injectable research routes appear in the literature. NA-Selank (N-acetylated) offers improved stability for extended protocols.
Stacking and comparative studies
Selank and Semax are frequently compared and occasionally stacked in cognitive-research designs.
Handling and storage
Lyophilized powder is stable at ambient shipping temperatures. Once reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, store at 2–8 °C and use within 28 days. For long-term storage of unreconstituted vials, freeze at −20 °C and protect from light.
Frequently asked
What is the difference between Selank and NA-Selank?
NA-Selank is N-acetylated, giving it improved metabolic stability compared to plain Selank — useful in longer research protocols.
How does Selank differ from Semax?
Both are Russian-developed short peptides. Selank is more anxiolytic-focused; Semax is more cognitive/neurotrophic-focused. They share some overlapping effects in research.
What is tuftsin?
A naturally occurring tetrapeptide with immunomodulatory activity — Selank is a synthetic analog engineered for improved stability.
Intranasal or injectable?
Both routes appear in the literature. Intranasal is often used in cognitive-research protocols; injectable in immune-research work.
