Selank Peptide: Preclinical Studies on a Synthetic Tuftsin Analogue
Selank (Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg-Pro-Gly-Pro) is a synthetic heptapeptide built on the tuftsin core. Preclinical studies document enkephalinase inhibition (IC50 15 µM), GABAergic gene expression changes in rat frontal cortex, BDNF induction in hippocampus, and cytokine normalization under social stress models.
