AOD-9604 at a glance

AOD-9604 is a modified fragment of human growth hormone (residues 177-191 with an added tyrosine). It was developed at Monash University to study fat metabolism without GH’s effects on growth or IGF-1.

Metabolic Pharmaceuticals took it into trials.

How AOD-9604 acts in the lab

Growth hormone has a region near its C-terminal end, residues 177 to 191, that seems to account for its effect on fat breakdown. AOD-9604 is that fragment with a tyrosine added at the front.

In animal studies it increased lipolysis and reduced lipogenesis in fat cells. It doesn’t bind the growth hormone receptor the way full GH does, and it didn’t raise IGF-1 in trials, which is what made it interesting as a tool for separating GH’s fat effects from its growth effects.

AOD-9604 research

Heffernan and colleagues reported in 2001 that it reduced body fat in obese mice.

Phase 2b trials didn’t show significant weight loss compared with placebo.

AOD-9604 2mg vs related compounds

Labs choosing AOD-9604 2mg usually weigh it against a few close relatives. AOD-9604 is hGH fragment 177-191 with an extra tyrosine, studied for fat breakdown without raising IGF-1, while:

• HGH Fragment 176-191 is the 16-residue C-terminal end of growth hormone, the parent of AOD-9604
• 5-Amino-1MQ is a small molecule that blocks the enzyme NNMT inside fat cells
• MOTS-c is a 16-amino-acid peptide coded in mitochondrial DNA, studied for glucose use in muscle

These four are studied for fat metabolism but act in very different places: the growth hormone fragments on fat tissue from outside, 5-Amino-1MQ and MOTS-c from inside the cell. See them all on our weight loss peptides page.

AOD-9604 2mg purity and testing

Purity for this batch of AOD-9604 2mg came back at 99.64% by HPLC and mass spectrometry. That’s the figure for the batch currently in stock.

Every vial is labeled with the compound, the amount and the batch. If your lab keeps paperwork on file, email us the batch number from the label and we’ll send the certificate of analysis for it.

Write the batch number in your lab notes when you open a new vial. If you ever need to compare results between orders, that’s the detail you’ll want.

Reconstituting AOD-9604 2mg

The volume of liquid you add sets the concentration. For a vial holding 2mg:

• 1mL of water gives 2mg/mL
• 2mL of water gives 1mg/mL

Pick the volume that keeps your own calculations simple, then write the concentration and the mixing date on the label.

Use sterile bacteriostatic water. Warm the sealed vial to room temperature first so no condensation gets in, add the water slowly along the glass wall, and swirl gently until it’s clear. Never shake it.

AOD-9604 2mg storage and shelf life

Freeze-dried AOD-9604 2mg is stable at room temperature for shipping, but for anything longer keep it in a freezer at -20°C, away from light. Once mixed, keep it in the fridge at 2 to 8°C and use it within about four weeks.

Vials are small and easy to knock over or misplace. Our vial storage case and hard storage box each hold ten, so a whole study’s worth stays together.
