Hormone & Reproductive
Peptides studied for the HPG axis, fertility, and endocrine signaling.
B7-33Preclinical
A single-chain 26-amino-acid relaxin analog engineered as a biased RXFP1 agonist to deliver the anti-fibrotic and cardioprotective effects of H2 relaxin in a simpler synthetic form.- Anti-fibrotic activity
- Cardiovascular protection
- Renal protection
CetrorelixFDA-Approved
An FDA-approved synthetic GnRH antagonist that rapidly suppresses LH and FSH to prevent premature ovulation during IVF cycles.- Prevents premature LH surges
- No initial hormonal flare
- HPG axis suppression
DesmopressinFDA-Approved
An FDA-approved synthetic vasopressin analogue that raises water reabsorption and clotting factor release while sparing blood-pressure effects.- Antidiuretic (water reabsorption)
- Hemostasis support
- Reduced nocturia in older adults
EPO (Erythropoietin)FDA-Approved
A kidney-derived glycoprotein hormone that drives red blood cell production and is FDA-approved for treating anemia.- Corrects anemia
- Stimulates erythropoiesis
- Tissue-protective signaling
FSHFDA-Approved
The pituitary glycoprotein hormone that drives gametogenesis in both sexes and forms the backbone of assisted-reproduction ovarian stimulation.- Ovarian stimulation for assisted reproduction
- Follicular development and estradiol synthesis
- Spermatogenesis support
GonadorelinEstablished
Synthetic gonadotropin-releasing hormone that sits at the very top of the reproductive axis, driving pulsatile pituitary LH and FSH release.- Pulsatile LH and FSH stimulation
- Testicular function maintenance during TRT
- Fertility preservation via intact FSH pathway
hCGEstablished
A long-acting LH mimetic that directly stimulates the testes to make testosterone and preserve fertility, and triggers ovulation in fertility medicine.- Direct testicular testosterone stimulation
- Testicular size and function preservation on TRT
- Fertility restoration and spermatogenesis support
Kisspeptin-10Emerging
The master upstream trigger of the reproductive axis — a hypothalamic neuropeptide that ignites GnRH release and the entire LH/FSH/testosterone cascade.- Activates the entire HPG axis from the top
- Testosterone and spermatogenesis support
- Ovulation triggering with lower OHSS risk
LeuprolideFDA-Approved
A synthetic GnRH superagonist that paradoxically shuts down sex-hormone production by desensitizing the pituitary, producing medical castration levels of testosterone and estrogen.- Androgen deprivation for prostate cancer
- Estrogen suppression for endometriosis and fibroids
- Treatment of central precocious puberty
LHModerate
The pituitary gonadotropin that drives testosterone synthesis in men and triggers ovulation in women.- Testosterone stimulation
- Ovulation induction
- Fertility support
OxytocinFDA-Approved
The endogenous 'love hormone' — a nine-amino-acid neuropeptide, FDA-approved as Pitocin for labor since 1962 and widely researched off-label for social bonding, anxiety, and sexual connection.- Labor induction and postpartum hemorrhage control
- Prosocial behavior and trust
- Social attention and emotional processing
RelaxinEmerging
An insulin-family peptide hormone that acts through the RXFP1 receptor to drive vasodilation, boost renal perfusion, and suppress fibrotic tissue remodeling.- Systemic vasodilation
- Anti-fibrotic remodeling
- Increased renal perfusion
TeriparatideFDA-Approved
A synthetic parathyroid hormone fragment and the first FDA-approved anabolic agent that builds new bone rather than merely slowing its loss.- Stimulates new bone formation
- Increases bone mineral density
- Reduces fracture risk
TRHEmerging
A hypothalamic tripeptide that drives TSH release from the pituitary while acting as a broad CNS neuromodulator with arousal-promoting and neuroprotective effects.- Cognitive enhancement
- Neuroprotection
- Arousal and wakefulness
TriptorelinFDA-Approved
A long-acting synthetic GnRH agonist that is FDA-approved for hormonal suppression, but whose brief initial LH/FSH flare drives its off-label reputation as a single-shot HPG-axis restart.- Androgen deprivation for prostate cancer
- Central precocious puberty control
- Endometriosis and uterine fibroid management
VasopressinFDA-Approved
An endogenous hypothalamic nonapeptide hormone that regulates water balance, blood pressure, and stress-related memory, and is FDA-approved as a vasopressor for shock.- Vasopressor support in shock
- Water balance and antidiuresis
- Memory consolidation
