- Primary effect: Selank → anxiolytic/immunomodulatory; Semax → stimulating/pro-cognitive
- GABAergic activity: Selank shows indirect GABAergic modulation; Semax does not significantly modulate GABA systems
- BDNF upregulation: Both increase BDNF; effect is more pronounced and primary in Semax research
- Clinical approval: Both hold Russian regulatory approval for neurological/psychiatric conditions
- Immunomodulation: Selank has significant Tuftsin-derived immune effects; Semax's immune profile is less prominent
