N-[(3S)-1-[2-[[(2S)-1-[(2S)-2-[[(2S)-2-amino-4-methylpentanoyl]amino]propanoyl]pyrrolidin-2-yl]formyl]pyrrolidin-1-yl]-1-oxo-3-phenylpropan-2-yl]-1H-imidazole-4-carboxamide
Selank is a synthetic anxiolytic peptide that selectively modulates GABA and serotonin neurotransmitter systems while enhancing BDNF expression. It provides anxiolytic effects without sedation, making it ideal for cognitive enhancement and stress management applications.
Clinical Benefits
Mechanism of Action
Selank selectively enhances GABAergic neurotransmission and modulates serotonin pathways through direct receptor interaction and indirect BDNF upregulation. It influences neurotransmitter synthesis and release while promoting neuroplasticity through brain-derived neurotrophic factor expression, resulting in anxiolytic effects without cognitive impairment or sedation.
