Reconstituted Peptide

Meaning

A reconstituted peptide is a lyophilized, or freeze-dried, pharmaceutical-grade peptide compound that has been returned to a liquid state by the addition of a sterile diluent, typically bacteriostatic water. This preparation step is clinically necessary because many peptides are chemically unstable in an aqueous solution over time and must be stored in a dry, stable powder form. Proper reconstitution is crucial for maintaining the peptide’s structural integrity and biological potency prior to administration. The final product is then ready for injection or other routes of delivery.
