Cognitive & Neuro Research Peptides
The neuropeptide literature centers on a small group of Russian-developed compounds with unusually deep publication records. Semax, a synthetic ACTH(4-10) analog, is studied primarily for BDNF and NGF expression. Selank, derived from tuftsin, appears mainly in anxiolytic and GABAergic-modulation models. Cerebrolysin, a peptide preparation of porcine brain origin, is one of the most-studied neurotrophic agents in the neurorestoration literature.
Because Semax and Selank act through different systems — neurotrophic-factor expression versus GABAergic and monoamine modulation — they are commonly studied side by side rather than as substitutes.

Frequently asked questions
+What is the difference between Semax and Selank?
Semax is an ACTH(4-10) analog studied largely for upregulation of BDNF and NGF — neurotrophic-factor pathways associated with plasticity. Selank is a tuftsin analog studied mainly for GABAergic and monoamine modulation in anxiolytic models. Different mechanisms, different study designs.
+What is DSIP studied for?
Delta-sleep-inducing peptide is investigated for its role in sleep-architecture regulation, and also appears in stress-response and neuroendocrine models. It is frequently included in circadian-signaling research alongside cognitive compounds.
+Why does NAD+ appear in a cognitive collection?
NAD+ is central to mitochondrial energetics, and neuronal tissue is among the most metabolically demanding in the body. It appears in cellular-energetics research that overlaps both the neuro and longevity literature.
+Are these products for human use?
No. All neuropeptides listed are supplied as reference standards for in-vitro laboratory research and analytical method development only.
