About TH104
TH104 is embedded with nalmefene onto a proprietary transmucosal buccal film that easily adheres to the inside of the mouth. This dosage form endows TH104 with key features making it an ideal product candidate for multiple liver-related and other pruritogenic inflammatory conditions. The molecule has a dual mechanism of action affecting both the µ-opioid and kappa opioid receptors. These opioid receptors when stimulated and/or inhibited by the body's natural ligands have been known to be involved in the body's itch circuitry.
