Introduction to Nootropic Peptides
Selank and Semax are synthetic peptides with nootropic and neuroprotective properties that have attracted significant research interest. According to neuropeptide research, these compounds modulate key pathways critical to neuroplasticity, including brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and HGF/c-Met pathways .
Selank is a synthetic peptide with anxiolytic properties. It is a structural analog of the immunomodulatory peptide tuftsin and has been studied for its effects on anxiety, stress, and cognitive function.
Semax is a synthetic peptide derived from adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). It has been extensively studied for its neuroprotective and cognitive-enhancing properties .
