AOD-9604
Also known as: Anti-Obesity Drug 9604
AOD-9604 is a 16-amino-acid synthetic peptide corresponding to the C-terminal fragment of human growth hormone (residues 177-191) with an additional N-terminal tyrosine. Developed by Metabolic Pharmaceuticals (Australia) to isolate a purported 'lipolytic' activity of GH without GH-receptor-mediated growth or diabetogenic effects. AOD-9604 is NOT FDA-approved for any indication; controlled human trials for obesity did not demonstrate clinically meaningful weight loss, and obesity development was terminated in 2007.

Prices observed from public storefronts (last 24h), normalized to $/mg. "Evidence" is Merit's 0–100 Merit Score, derived only from observable verification evidence (methodology on /about); "Purity" is the latest independent COA. Some buy links are affiliate links — Merit may earn a commission at no extra cost to you, and where a vendor offers one, the code shown gets you a discount at their checkout. Affiliate status never affects price data, ranking, or the Merit Score (full policy on /disclosure). Research use only.
