## Description

Here AOD-9604 comes as a sublingual troche instead of a lyophilised powder that needs reconstituting. Each troche carries 300 mcg of peptide in a soft, dissolving base that releases it onto the oral mucosa as it melts; one bottle contains 30 troches. The peptide itself is the same as in our AOD-9604 vials — a 16-residue analogue of the C-terminal region of human growth hormone with an extra N-terminal tyrosine and a Cys7-Cys15 disulfide.

Troches have a place in research because delivery across the mucosa is a subject of study in its own right. Peptides of this size pass through oral mucosa poorly and are broken down by salivary proteases, so buccal and sublingual absorption studies use troches to quantify how much peptide remains intact, how the base and contact time change that proportion, and how the mucosal route compares with injection in animal models.

## Frequently asked questions

### How is this different from the AOD-9604 vial?

The peptide is exactly the same; only the format changes. This listing is a 300 mcg sublingual troche in a dissolving base, whereas the vial holds lyophilised powder that you reconstitute in the lab. Troches are intended for research on transmucosal delivery.

### What fraction of the peptide passes through the mucosa?

There is no settled number — that is what the research sets out to find. Peptides of this molecular size typically permeate the mucosa only modestly, and quantifying the share that crosses under specific formulation conditions is exactly the purpose of troche studies.

### Which documents are provided?

You can obtain a certificate of analysis for the peptide content of the lot supplied. The peptide is HPLC-tested to ≥99% before compounding; filing the COA with your records keeps the material traceable.

### Why is storage temperature so important?

Heat softens the troche base and it absorbs humidity from the air; both distort the troche and speed up breakdown of the peptide. Storing it cool, dry and dark in a closed container keeps the formulation stable, physically and chemically, throughout its use period.

### Can troches be dissolved for use in other assays?

Labs do extract peptide from compounded products for analysis, but ingredients of the base may interfere with chromatography and some assay chemistries. Validate your extraction and clean-up before any quantitative work instead of assuming they will perform.
