Description
AOD-9604 Research Kit (x3)
Bulk research pack of AOD-9604 (hGH fragment 176-191, Tyr-) containing 3 × 5 mg vials (15 mg total) — approximately a 30-day research-reference supply at 500 mcg/day. For the single-vial monograph see AOD-9604 (5mg / 10mg).
Mechanism of Action (Research Context)
AOD-9604 is a short C-terminal fragment of human growth hormone designed to retain the lipolytic activity of full-length hGH without the growth-promoting or insulin-antagonizing effects. Research describes β3-adrenergic pathway activation in adipocytes (Ng & Bornstein, 1998; Heffernan et al., Endocrinology, 2001).
Compound Properties (per vial)
- Compound: AOD-9604 (Tyr-hGH 177-191)
- Molecular Weight: ~1817.1 g/mol
- CAS Number: 221231-10-3
- Kit Contents: 3 × 5 mg vials (15 mg total)
- Purity: ≥98% (HPLC)
Research-Reference Dosing
Research protocols have referenced 500 mcg – 1 mg/day SC (Heffernan et al., Eur J Pharmacol, 2001). The 15 mg total kit quantity is consistent with ~30 days at 500 mcg/day.
What the Kit Includes
- Lyophilized peptide vials (see quantities below)
- Syringes (insulin-gauge)
- Alcohol prep pads
- Reconstitution solution
- Mixing syringe
Add $15 if you want us to reconstitute your vials before shipping.
Research Findings
- Phase 2b human obesity trial (Metabolic Pharmaceuticals, 2007) reported modest fat-mass reduction vs. placebo at 1 mg/day over 12 weeks.
- No measurable effect on serum IGF-1 in rodent and limited human studies.
- AOD-9604 did not advance to regulatory approval as an obesity therapeutic; peer-reviewed human efficacy data remains limited.
Known Side Effects Reported in Trials
- Injection-site reactions (most common)
- Mild headache and fatigue, comparable to placebo
- No clinically significant glucose, insulin, or IGF-1 changes in the reported trial
Storage & Handling
- Unopened lyophilized vials: refrigerate at 2-8 °C; long-term storage at −20 °C recommended. Protect from light.
- After reconstitution: refrigerate at 2-8 °C and use within 14-28 days per standard peptide stability guidance.
- Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles of reconstituted material.
Shipping
UPS 2-Day shipping: $7 Texas / $12 out of state / $35 for ICE (insulated cold pack).
