Russian-origin peptides
Peptides developed within the Soviet and post-Soviet Russian pharmacology tradition — Semax, Selank, Noopept, and the Khavinson bioregulator family.
Semax
A synthetic heptapeptide analogue of ACTH(4-10) developed in Russia for cognitive enhancement, neuroprotection, and stroke recovery research.
Read profileSelank
A synthetic heptapeptide analogue of tuftsin developed for anxiolytic and immunomodulatory research, with measurable effects on attention and mood.
Read profilePinealon
A short tripeptide bioregulator studied in Russian gerontology research for neuroprotective and anti-ageing effects on the central nervous system.
Read profileNoopept (Peptide Note)
A small proline-containing dipeptide derivative — technically a peptidomimetic — developed in Russia as an orally active cognitive enhancer with structural lineage to piracetam.
Read profileN-Acetyl Semax Amidate
A chemically protected analogue of Semax with N-terminal acetylation and C-terminal amidation, conferring substantially extended half-life and improved potency in research.
Read profileEpitalon
A short synthetic tetrapeptide developed in the Khavinson bioregulator programme, studied for telomere maintenance, pineal regulation, and indirect cognitive effects via circadian and stress-resilience pathways.
Read profileCortexin
A standardised low-molecular-weight peptide preparation derived from bovine cerebral cortex, used in Russian clinical practice for cognitive impairment, post-stroke recovery, and traumatic brain injury research — the closest single sister to Cerebrolysin.
Read profileCycloprolylglycine
An endogenous cyclic dipeptide that is also the primary active metabolite of Noopept, with intrinsic anxiolytic and cognitive effects independent of its parent compound — a research peptide in its own right.
