- | Peptide | Primary Mechanism | Panic-Relevant Action | Human Trial Evidence | Typical Research Dose | Administration Route | Professional Assessment ||—|—|—|—|—|—|| BPC-157 | Gastric protection, unclear CNS pathway | Normalizes HPA axis cortisol feedback; upregulates hippocampal dopamine and serotonin receptors | None for panic; rodent stress models only | 10 mcg/kg daily (700 mcg for 70kg adult) | Subcutaneous injection | Promising preclinical data but zero controlled human trials for psychiatric endpoints; mechanism remains speculative || Selank | GABA-A receptor modulation | Enhances GABAergic inhibition without sedation; reduces cortisol spikes during acute stress | One 60-patient RCT in GAD; multiple Russian open-label trials | 750 mcg intranasal, 3x daily (0.15% solution) | Intranasal spray | Strongest human evidence among peptides; effects onset within 30–40 minutes; no Western replication studies || Semax | BDNF upregulation | Enhances hippocampal fear extinction learning; sup
