AOD-9604
A modified fragment (amino acids 177–191) of human growth hormone, studied for its effects on lipid metabolism without impacting blood sugar or growth.
What Is AOD-9604?
AOD-9604 is a synthetic peptide analog of the C-terminal fragment of human growth hormone, corresponding to amino acids 177–191 with a tyrosine modification. Unlike full-length growth hormone, AOD-9604 has been studied for its ability to stimulate lipolysis and inhibit lipogenesis without affecting blood glucose levels or promoting cell proliferation. Research has investigated its mechanism of action through beta-3 adrenergic receptor pathways.
History
AOD-9604 was originally developed by Metabolic Pharmaceuticals in Australia during the late 1990s. The peptide emerged from research by Professor Frank Ng at Monash University, who identified that the fat-reducing activity of growth hormone resided in its C-terminal fragment. The compound advanced through Phase 2 clinical trials before development was paused. More recently, AOD-9604 has received attention in the research community for potential applications beyond lipid metabolism, including cartilage repair.
Certificate of Analysis (COA)
Every batch of our peptides is independently tested by third-party laboratories to verify purity, identity, and potency. We maintain 98%+ purity standards across our entire product catalog.
Reconstitution & Storage
Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water (BAC water). Using a sterile syringe, slowly inject 1-2mL of BAC water into the vial, directing the stream against the glass wall. Do not inject directly onto the lyophilized powder. Gently swirl until fully dissolved. Do not shake.
Store unreconstituted vials at room temperature away from direct sunlight. After reconstitution, store at 2-8°C (standard refrigerator). Use within 30 days of reconstitution. Do not freeze.
