AOD-9604
10mg · Lyophilized Powder · Purity ≥99%
AOD9604 is a synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 177–191 of the C-terminus of human growth hormone (hGH), identified as the region responsible for hGH's lipolytic activity. Unlike full-length hGH, AOD9604 does not significantly modulate IGF-1 levels or glucose metabolism in preclinical studies, making it a selective tool for adipose biology research.

Research Overview
Research interest in AOD9604 centres on its ability to recapitulate the lipolytic properties of native hGH as an isolated peptide fragment, enabling investigators to study adipose lipid mobilisation mechanisms and beta-3 adrenergic receptor signalling without the pleiotropic metabolic effects associated with full-length growth hormone. Originally evaluated as an anti-obesity drug candidate in formal clinical development, its well-characterised preclinical profile supports its continued use as a reference compound in lipid metabolism research. BME Health supplies AOD9604 at research-grade purity with full COA. Supplied exclusively for laboratory and research use.
Preclinical studies have used AOD9604 to characterise lipolysis mechanisms in adipocyte models, with particular focus on beta-3 adrenergic receptor engagement and inhibition of lipogenesis pathways. Animal studies involving diet-induced obesity models provided early mechanistic data on its fat-mass-reducing effects at the cellular level. The compound's selective activity profile — distinct from full hGH — has made it a useful tool for dissecting the specific domains of hGH responsible for individual metabolic actions in comparative peptide biology research. All outcomes referenced pertain to preclinical models and do not constitute evidence of clinical efficacy or safety in humans.

COA / Testing
Batch documentation and third-party testing information are available for batch BME-AOD960-A. COA previews appear only when documentation exists for the active batch.
Storage & Handling
Store lyophilised AOD9604 at −20°C in its original sealed vial, protected from light and moisture. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles, which degrade peptide structure and compromise assay reproducibility. Reconstituted solutions should be aliquoted into single-use volumes and stored at −80°C; refer to the lot-specific COA for validated stability parameters.
