Short answer
What is Selank?
Selank is a synthetic 7-amino-acid analogue of tuftsin (Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg) extended with Pro-Gly-Pro.
It also appears in the literature as Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg-Pro-Gly-Pro, TKPRPGP, Selanc.

What has research on Selank examined?
Published research on Selank consists mainly of rodent behavioural and gene-expression studies and cell-culture work, largely from Russian groups. One small Russian clinical study in patients with anxiety disorders has been published; large controlled human trials in English-language literature were not found.
The table lists primary sources by year and model. Findings describe the study subjects, not this research vial.
What adverse events have studies of Selank reported?
None of the fetched abstracts reports a specific adverse event caused by Selank. In a Russian study of 70 patients with anxiety disorders, adding Selank to phenazepam was reported to lower phenazepam's side effects (PMID 26356395). A US pharmacology review describes Selank as poorly studied (PMID 34396551).
These findings describe the people or animals in each study. The sources list gives every PubMed record.
How do you reconstitute and store Selank?
Store the sealed vial frozen (about -20 degrees Celsius), dry and away from light until it is reconstituted.
After reconstitution with a sterile solvent, keep the solution at 2 to 8 degrees Celsius and avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Record the solvent, volume and date on the vial label.
BAC Water is the usual laboratory solvent. Dilute acetic acid is an alternative for peptides that dissolve poorly in water. The reconstitution guide and storage guide cover laboratory handling.
| STATE | TEMPERATURE | NOTES |
|---|---|---|
| Sealed vial | -20 °C | Dry and dark. Keeps to the label date. |
| Reconstituted | 2 to 8 °C | Sterile technique. Avoid repeat freeze and thaw. |
| In transit | Cold pack | Refrigerate or freeze on arrival. |

Is selank a peptide?
Yes. Selank is a peptide of 7 amino acids.
Is selank a prescription medicine in Australia?
Selank is not named in the Poisons Standard (June 2026 instrument). Peptides Collective sells it for laboratory research use only.
Is selank banned in sport?
Selank is not named on WADA's 2026 Prohibited List. WADA's S0 class covers any substance without government approval for human use, so Sport Integrity Australia is the body to confirm its status.
What is the CAS number for selank?
The CAS number for Selank is 129954-34-3. Its PubChem CID is 11765600.
How long does an unopened selank vial keep?
A sealed vial of lyophilised powder keeps to the date on its label when stored frozen, dry and dark. Once reconstituted, keep the solution at 2 to 8 degrees Celsius and record the date on the label.
Does every selank batch have a certificate?
Yes. Every Selank batch is tested by [lab] before it goes on sale, and the certificate is published under the batch number printed on the vial. The current batch certificate is [pending].
Where is selank shipped from?
Orders ship tracked from Western Australia. Orders placed before [cut-off] leave the same business day. Delivery estimates by state are on the shipping page.
What purity is the current selank batch?
The current Selank batch certificate is [pending]. When it is published, it reports purity by HPLC to three decimal places and confirms identity by mass spectrometry.
Which solvent reconstitutes selank?
BAC Water (sterile water with 0.9% benzyl alcohol) is the usual laboratory solvent. Dilute acetic acid is an alternative for peptides that dissolve poorly in water. Record the solvent, volume and resulting concentration on the vial label.
