AOD 9604 is a synthetic peptide fragment derived from the C-terminus of human growth hormone (hGH), specifically amino acids 176–191, with an additional tyrosine residue at the N-terminus. Unlike full-length hGH, AOD 9604 is understood to exert targeted effects on adipose tissue without significantly influencing insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) levels or promoting cellular proliferation, making it a subject of considerable interest in metabolic research.
Research into AOD 9604 has focused primarily on its ability to stimulate lipolysis — the breakdown of stored fat — and inhibit lipogenesis — the conversion of food into body fat. These properties are thought to be mediated through mechanisms similar to those of hGH, but localised to fat metabolism pathways. Preclinical studies have also explored potential applications in cartilage and bone repair, with some data suggesting regenerative properties in musculoskeletal tissue models.
Each vial of Peptician’s AOD 9604 contains 2mg of lyophilised powder with a purity exceeding 98%, as verified by HPLC analysis. The molecular formula is C₇₈H₁₂₃N₂₃O₂₃S₂, with a molecular weight of approximately 1815.1 g/mol. The CAS number is 221231-10-3.
Store at –20°C for long-term stability. Once reconstituted, refrigerate at 2–8°C and use within 14 days.
