B7-33

A simplified, single-chain version of the hormone relaxin. Relaxin softens and de-scars tissue (anti-fibrotic). B7-33 aims to do that, reduce fibrosis in heart, liver, and kidney; in a peptide that’s easier to make. Entirely research-stage, no human data.

Research & reference information

This profile compiles research and community-sourced reference information for educational purposes. Information may evolve as research and community knowledge develop. It is not individualized medical advice.

Overview

B7-33 is a functionally selective, single-chain synthetic peptide mimetic derived from the human peptide hormone relaxin-2.

What problem it targets: It is engineered to treat fibrotic diseases, heart failure, organ scarring (cardiac, pulmonary, renal, and vascular fibrosis), and pathological tissue stiffening.

What It Does

• Selectively activates RXFP1 receptors: Triggers the beneficial pERK1/2 anti-fibrotic signaling cascade without activating the cAMP pathways that cause unwanted blood pressure drops or tumor-growth risks.

• Breaks down pathological collagen scars: Upregulates matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), enzymes that systematically dissolve excess, rigid collagen fibers in scarred organs.

• Promotes microvascular health: Stimulates tissue blood flow and blunts chronic inflammation that drives ongoing organ fibrosis and stiffness.

• Realistic expectations: In preclinical heart and lung models, B7-33 reduced established fibrosis by over 50%. It is designed as an organ-protective anti-scarring agent, not a performance stimulant.

Protocol

PhaseFrequencyDoseUnits (2 mg/mL)Notes
Research-derivedDaily100–500 mcg5–25uSubQ. Animal-study-derived range only, no validated human dose or safety margin.
Offvariable––No established cycle, preclinical compound. Caution: B7-33’s entire evidence base is animal data. There is no clinically validated protocol, no approved human route, and no established safety margin. Doses here are research-derived and included for completeness only. Relaxin signaling affects the vasculature and connective tissue broadly. By sex: Relaxin analog, contraindicated in pregnancy (relaxin acts on the reproductive tract). Otherwise unisex; entirely preclinical.

Handling & Stacking

Injection site
SubQ. Rotate.
Storage
  • Freeze-dried: -4°F.
  • Reconstituted: 36–46°F.
  • Best used within ~2–4 weeks, kept cold (structure-based estimate, no published data); that is close to the 28- day sterility limit, so use whichever comes first.
Side effects
Unknown in humans. Relaxin-class effects (vasodilation, connective-tissue softening) are plausible. Human side-effect profile undefined.
What to expect
  • Unknown in humans.
  • Animal data suggest anti-fibrotic, organ-protective effects; not demonstrated in people.
  • Supply math 2mg → ~6 vials | 10mg → ~2 vials (4-wk @ 400 mcg/day, research-derived, not a recommendation)
Pairs well with
Theoretical anti-fibrotic stacks (BPC-157, TB-500); unproven; no human data to guide combinations
Avoid
Pregnancy (relaxin affects the reproductive tract). Significant cardiovascular disease without supervision. Use without renal/hepatic monitoring if targeting fibrosis

Safety & Patient Education

Contraindications
Pregnancy and lactation (relaxin acts on reproductive tissue) Hypersensitivity to the peptide Unstable cardiovascular disease (vascular effects) without supervision
Warnings
No human safety, efficacy, or dosing data; entirely preclinical Relaxin signaling has broad vascular and connective-tissue effects Not an approved drug; quality varies, request a COA
Drug interactions
Antihypertensives / vasodilators: possible additive vasodilation Otherwise uncharacterized in humans
Labs
If targeting organ fibrosis: relevant organ panels (liver, renal, cardiac markers) Blood pressure monitoring
Stop criteria
Any significant cardiovascular symptoms (dizziness, palpitations, hypotension) Any unexpected systemic reaction Pregnancy
Patient education
Promising anti-fibrotic mechanism, but zero human data; treat as experimental Not for use in pregnancy Source quality matters, request a COA If used for an organ-fibrosis goal, do so only with medical monitoring
