RXFP Receptor Activator

Relaxin H3 (human) TFA is a relaxin peptide with anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, anti-pyroptotic, anti-migratory, protective and anti-fibrotic activities. Relaxin H3 (human) TFA acts on RXFP1 to generate cAMP and reduce the levels of ATP and ROS. Relaxin H3 (human) TFA inhibits renal inflammatory pyroptosis (pyroptosis), NLRP3 inflammasome activation, caspase-1 activation, IL-1β/IL-18 secretion, collagen synthesis, TGF-β1 signaling pathway, Smad2 phosphorylation, myofibroblast differentiation, TIMP expression, and HRMEC migration. Relaxin H3 (human) TFA activates AMPK, upregulates MFN2 expression, improves mitochondrial quality control and membrane potential, inhibits apoptosis (apoptosis) and pyroptosis, restores retinal ultrastructure, and reverses excessive left ventricular collagen expression. Relaxin H3 (human) TFA can be used in studies related to kidney stones, nephrocalcinosis, diabetic cardiomyopathy, fibrotic cardiomyopathy, and diabetic retinopathy.

R9-13 is a fatty acid-conjugated relaxin and an agonist of LGR7 (RXFP1). R9-13 induces sustained pubic symphysis elongation in estrogen-pretreated mice. R9-13 exhibits long-acting pharmacokinetic profiles in rodents, with in vivo activity lasting up to one week after administration. R9-13 can be used in studies related to acute heart failure.

Efadirelaxin alfa (RELAX10) is a highly selective agonist of relaxin/insulin-like family peptide receptor RXFP1. After subcutaneous administration in animal experiments, Efadirelaxin alfa exhibits a significantly prolonged terminal half-life (7 days in mice, 3.75 days in rats), and shows no activity against related receptors such as RXFP2 and RXFP3. Efadirelaxin alfa has significant anti-cardiac hypertrophy and anti-fibrotic effects. Efadirelaxin alfa effectively attenuates and reverses cardiac hypertrophy and collagen deposition by regulating the TGF-β1/Smad2 and AKT/eNOS signaling pathways. Efadirelaxin alfa improves cardiac systolic function without causing fluctuations in blood pressure or heart rate, demonstrating favorable safety. Efadirelaxin alfa is currently mainly used in studies related to heart failure.
