Selank

Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide studied as an analogue of tuftsin, a short immunomodulatory peptide produced naturally in the body. A Pro-Gly-Pro tail is added to the tuftsin sequence to slow enzymatic breakdown, which is part of why it is investigated as a comparatively stable peptide in neurological and immune research models. NOX supplies Selank as a lyophilised research reference material for research use only, and none of this information is medical or human-use guidance.

Selank is most often referenced in anxiolytic and cognitive research, where investigators examine anxiety-related behaviour, attention and memory pathways in cell and preclinical models. It is also studied for immune-signalling effects that reflect its tuftsin origin. It is investigated for mechanism and signalling rather than any applied or therapeutic outcome, and as with every NOX compound it is a research reference material intended strictly for research use only.

In the published literature Selank is associated with neurotrophic and neurotransmitter signalling, and studies report changes in brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) expression in the hippocampus alongside effects on monoamine and GABA-related pathways. Research also describes modulation of immune markers such as interleukin-6, consistent with its tuftsin heritage. This is educational context only; the compound is supplied strictly for research use only.

Lyophilised Selank is supplied as a sealed, freeze-dried powder and is generally kept frozen and away from light, typically stored at around -20°C for long-term stability, while for shorter periods it can be kept in the fridge at 2–8°C. Keeping the vial sealed limits moisture uptake and helps preserve the dry material. This describes general laboratory handling of lyophilised research compounds and is provided for research use only, not as guidance for any other use.

Bacteriostatic water is commonly used to reconstitute lyophilised research compounds because the small amount of benzyl alcohol it contains helps limit microbial growth in a multi-use vial. It simply dissolves the freeze-dried powder into a liquid so the material can be handled in the laboratory. Reconstitution is performed strictly within a research context; Selank is supplied by NOX for research use only.

Once reconstituted, Selank is in solution and generally less stable than the dry powder, so the liquid is typically kept in the fridge at 2–8°C and protected from light. Researchers usually prepare only what a study requires and record the reconstitution date. This reflects general laboratory handling of reconstituted research materials and is offered for research-use-only context, not as guidance for human or veterinary use.

Selank is supplied as a lyophilised powder in 10 mg. The stated strength is the mass of compound sealed in the vial before reconstitution; the working concentration depends on the volume of solvent a researcher adds during preparation. All presentations are research reference materials supplied for research use only.

Yes. Selank is supplied by NOX strictly as a research reference material for laboratory and analytical use. It is not a medicinal product, food, cosmetic or veterinary product, and nothing in these answers should be read as guidance for human or animal use.
