Selank vs Zilucoplan (Zilbrysq)
An educational, source-based comparison of Selank and Zilucoplan (Zilbrysq) — how each peptide works, what it's researched for, and what to know before going deeper.
A synthetic analog of the immunomodulatory peptide tuftsin. Research suggests it modulates GABAergic and serotonergic systems and influences expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor without the sedation or dependence profile of benzodiazepines.
- Generalized anxiety models
- BDNF expression
- Immune modulation
- Memory and learning in rodent models
- • Not FDA-approved.
- • Most studies are Russian clinical literature.
Macrocyclic peptide complement C5 inhibitor for generalized myasthenia gravis.
A synthetic 15-amino-acid macrocyclic peptide that binds complement component C5 and blocks its cleavage to C5a/C5b, preventing formation of the membrane attack complex at the neuromuscular junction. Self-administered subcutaneously.
- Generalized myasthenia gravis (anti-AChR antibody positive)
- • FDA-approved 2023.
- • Requires meningococcal vaccination — risk of serious meningococcal infection.
- • Injection-site reactions common.
