Selank is a synthetic peptide, developed in Russia, which is based on a naturally occurring immunomodulatory peptide called Tuftsin. Selank has garnered interest for its potential anxiolytic effects, making it a possible alternative to traditional anxiety medications. Its mechanism is believed to involve modulating the expression of certain molecules in the brain that regulate the balance of neurotransmitters. Apart from its anxiety-reducing effects, studies suggest that Selank may also possess neuroprotective properties and might play a role in improving memory and cognitive functions.

Semax is a synthetic peptide originally developed in Russia for its neuroprotective and nootropic properties. Comprising a fragment of the adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), Semax has been researched for its potential to improve cognitive functions, boost memory and learning ability, and increase resistance to stress. Studies suggest that Semax might exert its effects by modulating neurotransmitter levels and promoting the expression of neurotrophic factors, which are essential for neuron survival and growth. Its neuroprotective capabilities have also drawn interest for potential applications in stroke recovery and optic nerve disease treatment.
