PE-22-28 is a synthetic peptide fragment derived from research on the SAMP8 mouse model of accelerated aging. It has shown potential for enhancing memory and reducing cognitive decline.
Full details →Side-by-Side Comparison
| Aspect | Selank | PE-22-28 |
|---|---|---|
| Mechanism | Modulates the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and affects serotonin and norepinephrine systems. Has immunomodulatory and anxiolytic properties. | Derived from the protein that is deficient in SAMP8 mice. May work by inhibiting protein phosphatase 2A methylesterase, thereby affecting memory-related signaling pathways. |
| Typical Dosage | Intranasal administration: 250-500mcg 2-3 times daily. Subcutaneous: 250-500mcg daily. | Research protocols vary. Intranasal dosing has been studied at various concentrations. Optimal human dosing not established. |
| Administration | Most commonly administered intranasally for cognitive effects. Can also be injected subcutaneously. | Intranasal administration preferred for CNS delivery. Research compound with limited human use data. |
| Side Effects | Generally well-tolerated. Some users report mild fatigue or nasal irritation with intranasal use. | Very limited human data. Primarily studied in animal models for safety and efficacy. |
