Molecular structure of AOD9604

AOD 9604 is a synthetic analogue derived from the C-terminal fragment of human growth hormone, specifically comprising the 16 amino acid sequence from residues 176-191 of the human growth hormone molecule.

Amino Sequence: Tyr-Leu-Arg-Ile-Val-Gln-Cys-Arg-Ser-Val-Glu-Gly-Ser-Cys-Gly-Phe

Molecular Formula: C78H123N23O23S2

Molecular Weight: 1815.1 g/mol

CAS #: 221231-10-3

InChI: 1S/C78H123N23O23S2/c1-9-41…

The AOD 9604 peptide features a critical modification where the phenylalanine at the N-terminal end is replaced with tyrosine (Tyr), enhancing stability and bioavailability while preserving the lipolytic fragment properties essential for fat metabolism research.


Mechanism of action

The AOD 9604 peptide functions as an orally active peptide modelled on the fragment of human growth hormone responsible for fat burning properties. Unlike full-length growth hormone (hGH), this peptide specifically targets fat metabolism without stimulating insulin like growth factor (IGF-1) production or affecting growth hormone levels in ways that promote tissue growth.

Research demonstrates that AOD 9604 enhances lipolysis through beta-3 adrenergic receptor upregulation in adipose tissue. This mechanism triggers a signaling cascade involving increased cyclic AMP, which activates hormone-sensitive lipase to break down stored triglycerides into free fatty acids available for energy production. Studies suggest this pathway allows the body to burn fat more efficiently without the adverse effects associated with full human growth hormone therapy.

The peptide’s ability to reduce stubborn fat while preserving muscle mass stems from its selective action on adipose tissue. It demonstrates no impact on blood sugar or impaired glucose tolerance, distinguishing it from treatments that affect insulin resistance. This targeted approach makes AOD 9604 valuable for research into weight loss mechanisms and metabolic regulation.


Research Studies

Clinical trials have examined AOD 9604’s potential to treat obesity through multiple controlled investigations. A pivotal 12-week randomized study reported that subjects receiving AOD 9604 lost an average of 1.8 kg more than placebo controls, demonstrating statistically significant effects on fat loss.

A subsequent 24-week trial yielded less conclusive results, leading to discontinuation of development as an obesity treatment in 2007. However, this research established the peptide’s safety profile and confirmed its distinct mechanism from growth hormone therapies.

Studies in beta-3 adrenergic receptor knockout mice confirmed the pathway’s necessity for AOD 9604’s effects—animals lacking these receptors showed no lipolytic response, weight change, or fat oxidation benefits, validating the proposed mechanism of action.

Beyond weight loss applications, research has explored AOD 9604’s bone stimulating properties and potential applications in osteoporosis treatment. Additional investigations have examined its role in cartilage repair and joint health support through lipid mobilization mechanisms.


Storage and Safety

Proper storage ensures AOD 9604 peptide stability for research applications:

Lyophilized Form:

  • Store at -20°C for long-term preservation
  • Protect from light and moisture
  • Stable for 24+ months under proper conditions

Reconstituted Form:

  • Store at 2-8°C after reconstitution
  • Use bacteriostatic water for reconstitution
  • Consume within 4 weeks for optimal stability

Handle peptides in clean laboratory environments using sterile techniques. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles that may degrade the amino acid structure and compromise research results.
