Selank is a synthetic heptapeptide developed at the Institute of Molecular Genetics of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Its amino acid sequence — Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg-Pro-Gly-Pro (TKPRPGP) — is derived from tuftsin, an endogenous immunomodulatory tetrapeptide, with a three-residue extension added to improve metabolic stability. Three distinct pathways have been examined in published research: GABAergic modulation, neurotrophin regulation, and immunomodulatory activity inherited…

Semax is a synthetic ACTH-derived research compound developed for the investigation of neurotrophin-related and molecular signaling pathways. Developed at the Russian Academy of Sciences in the 1980s, Semax is derived from a fragment of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and has been examined extensively in research involving neurotrophin-related and molecular signaling pathways. This article covers Semax’s structure, documented molecular characteristics, studied signaling…

Amylin research has examined a range of synthetic analogs designed to investigate receptor interactions, molecular stability, and structural characteristics. CAG represents a structurally distinct approach — a lipidated amylin research compound with modifications relevant to stability and receptor-binding research. This article examines CAG’s molecular design, its documented binding profile across amylin and calcitonin receptor subtypes, and findings from published laboratory…
