Cognitive peptides

Neuropeptide research

Neuropeptide research looks at how short peptide sequences affect signalling in the central nervous system, from neurotrophic factors to neurotransmitter systems. Two synthetic peptides, each developed from a natural regulatory sequence, are widely used in the field.

In this category

Semax is a synthetic analogue of a fragment of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH 4-10), investigated in research on brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) expression. Selank is a synthetic analogue of tuftsin, an immunomodulatory peptide, investigated in research on GABAergic signalling and the stress response.

Regulatory status

Both are supplied as research materials only. They are not licensed medicines in the UK and are not for human or veterinary use.

Testing and handling

Certificates of analysis are on the lab testing page. Keep freeze-dried vials refrigerated and reconstitute with bacteriostatic water. Working with both? The Focus & Anti-Aging Bundle costs less than the two vials separately.

Every product is sold as a reference material for laboratory research only. Not for human or veterinary use.
