Mechanism

Enkephalin and GABA-related anxiety signalling

Neuropeptide and inhibitory-neurotransmitter systems contribute to anxiety, stress adaptation and emotional regulation.

Canonical mechanism for Selank.

Biological pathway

Selank has been reported to affect enkephalin metabolism, GABA-related signalling and expression of genes involved in neurotransmission.

00b

Small clinical comparisons and preclinical studies support anxiolytic activity, though the evidence base is geographically concentrated.

00c

Mechanisms remain incompletely established and clinical replication outside the original research setting is limited.

Selank is an investigational peptide, analogue or research construct with evidence ranging from mechanistic studies to limited human trials.
