Selank
Tuftsin Analog TP-7
Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide anxiolytic based on the immunomodulatory peptide tuftsin (Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg), developed and approved in Russia for generalized anxiety disorder and as an immunomodulator. It demonstrates anxiolytic and nootropic effects comparable to benzodiazepines but without the sedation, dependence potential, or memory impairment. Administered intranasally. Not FDA-approved in the US.

Frequently asked
What do PeptIQ users report about Selank?
This page summarizes 57 anonymized self-reports from PeptIQ users who track Selank, including commonly reported effects and co-tracked peptides. These are observational patterns, not clinical outcomes.
How do side effects relate to overall experience for Selank?
PeptIQ separates overall check-in ratings (favorable, mixed, or unfavorable) from logged side effects like nausea or fatigue. Users often report benefits and side effects in the same check-in — a high experience score does not mean zero side effects were noted.
What research is cited for Selank?
6 sources are linked on this page, including PubMed articles, clinical trial registries, and FDA labels where applicable. Citations describe published research — not recommendations.
Is Selank safe to use?
This wiki does not assess safety or recommend use. Selank is listed as Intl. Approved (Russia). Consult a licensed clinician for personal medical decisions.
What are the purported benefits and uses of Selank?
This wiki summarizes observational community reports and linked citations for Selank. It does not assert therapeutic benefits. See the cited research list on this page and the educational profile for Selank for study-level context — not medical advice.
What is the legal status of Selank?
Selank is listed in PeptIQ as Intl. Approved (Russia). Regulatory status varies by jurisdiction and can change. This wiki does not provide legal advice; check current FDA and local rules and talk with a licensed clinician or counsel for personal decisions.
What are the known or theoretical side effects and risks of Selank?
Safety data quality for Selank varies widely by compound and study design. PeptIQ does not establish a risk profile here. Review primary literature, product labeling where applicable, and clinician guidance. Community self-reports are not a substitute for clinical evidence.
What is the current state of research on Selank?
This page links 6 indexed sources for Selank. Evidence maturity differs by application — some peptides have large human programs, others are mostly preclinical. Treat citation counts as literature volume, not proof of efficacy.
