Dosage by Use Case
Cardiac Fibrosis
4–8 weeks
Subcutaneous or intravenous injection. Studies have explored co-administration with ACE inhibitors.
Renal Fibrosis
4–8 weeks
Subcutaneous or intravenous injection. Monitor renal function during treatment.
Anti-Inflammatory
4–6 weeks
Subcutaneous injection. May be beneficial for conditions like rheumatoid arthritis or IBD, but clinical evidence is limited.
Hematopoietic Stem Cell Protection (during chemo)
2–4 weeks
Subcutaneous injection, starting a few days before chemotherapy and continuing during treatment. Monitor blood counts closely.
General Tissue Repair
4–6 weeks
Subcutaneous injection. Evidence is primarily preclinical, with limited human data.
Timing & Frequency
For cardiac and renal applications, injections are typically administered in the morning. For stem cell protection, administer prior to chemotherapy. TB-4 Fragment has a short half-life (~4.5 minutes), supporting twice-daily dosing in preclinical models, although once-daily is more practical in research settings.
Cycle Guidance
Most preclinical studies ran 4–8 week protocols. Common research practice uses a 4–8 week cycle followed by a 4-week break. TB-4 Fragment does not appear to suppress endogenous systems, so cycling rationale is primarily precautionary given limited long-term human safety data.
Reconstitution Reference
Quick reference for reconstituting TB-4 Fragment (Ac-SDKP). For custom vial sizes and concentrations, use the Reconstitution Calculator.
| Common Vial Size | Typically 1 mg per vial |
| BAC Water Volume | 1 mL bacteriostatic water for 1 mg/mL concentration |
| Concentration & Draw | At 1 mg/mL: 100 mcg = 0.1 mL (10 units on a 100-unit insulin syringe) |
| Storage | Refrigerate at 2–8°C after reconstitution. Keep lyophilized powder at room temperature or refrigerated. |
| Stability | Reconstituted solution stable up to 14 days refrigerated. Lyophilized powder stable 12-24 months per manufacturer specifications. |
