What is the pharmacological MOA for SEMAX and SELANK?

What they were answering

So apart from the growth factor release it works a lot like L-theanine?

u/MisterYouAreSoDumb · Ceretropic

No, it does not increase GABA like L-theanine. It is based on ACTH, which is what your body releases during stressful situations. Then it add a proline-glycine-proline structure to the end, which is like what noopept has. So it's like a mixture of a very powerful noopept with a fight or flight response, which is why it is stimulating.

I'd say Semax would be a good candidate. If you usually get anxiety from stimulants, then Selank might be a better option. Some people can get anxious on Semax, while others find it anxiolytic.

Four(-ish) questions about NA-Selank!

1) N-Acetyl Selank's anxiolytic mechanism is related to its ability to inhibit enkephaline-degrading ezymes. That increases the levels of your body's natural opioids. That inhibition modulates the dopaminergic system, an
