Selank and Semax

Co-studied

Two neuroactive peptides measured in one brain-imaging study, in separate groups. Measured together is not the same as given together.

How the two mechanisms relate

Neutral. Semax, studied for cognition and neuroprotection, and Selank, studied for anxiety, are heptapeptides examined together in one study, with combined mechanism data too limited to read as distinct pathways.

This reading describes mechanism and is editorial. The grade above is the published record.

The compounds

Selank

A heptapeptide studied for anxiety. Two small randomized trials in anxiety disorders report improvement, and the rest of the evidence is animal or laboratory work.

Semax

A heptapeptide studied for cognition and neuroprotection. The outcome evidence is mostly animal, and the human records are small imaging studies and one combined-procedure study.
