Research background

About AOD9604

AOD9604 is a modified analog of the C-terminal 176-191 fragment of human growth hormone, developed at Monash University in Australia as a lipolytic / anti-obesity research and clinical-development candidate. The molecule consists of the native HGH(176-191) sequence with an additional N-terminal tyrosine residue added to support iodination for tracking studies during preclinical development. AOD9604 retains the lipolytic activity associated with the HGH C-terminal region (the segment hypothesized to drive fat-cell lipolysis through a non-GH-receptor mechanism) while lacking the broader anabolic effects mediated by the full-length HGH molecule's central regions. The molecule advanced through Phase 2 clinical development for obesity but did not achieve regulatory approval; it has since transitioned to research-use and dietary-supplement markets in some jurisdictions.

Medabol supplies lyophilized AOD9604 to a ≥99.0% HPLC purity specification with batch-specific COA. The N-terminal tyrosine makes AOD9604 a different molecule from the unmodified HGH Fragment 176-191; what Medabol supplies is AOD9604. Four standard fill sizes (2, 5, 6 and 10 mg) cover typical research and compounding workflows.

AOD9604 FAQ

Why is AOD9604 considered an 'anti-obesity drug candidate' rather than just a research peptide?

AOD9604 was developed at Monash University in Australia and advanced through Phase 2b clinical trials for obesity as a registered drug-development program. The trials produced modest weight-loss signals (smaller than what GLP-1 agonists have since demonstrated), and the program did not achieve regulatory approval as a finished drug. Following discontinuation of the obesity-drug program, AOD9604 transitioned to research-use and to dietary-supplement markets in some jurisdictions, where it is marketed under various brand names. The 'anti-obesity drug candidate' framing reflects the molecule's clinical-development history; buyers should not assume the molecule is an approved drug.

Is AOD9604 a GH analog, and does it activate the GH receptor?

AOD9604 is derived from the C-terminal region of human GH (residues 176-191) but is not a GH receptor agonist, the GH-receptor-binding region of full-length GH is in the central portion of the protein, not the C-terminal fragment. AOD9604's lipolytic activity is hypothesized to act through a separate, non-GH-receptor mechanism. This is the key pharmacological distinction from full-length recombinant HGH: AOD9604 retains the lipolytic effects associated with the C-terminal region of GH but lacks the broader anabolic and IGF-1-stimulating effects mediated by the central GH-receptor-binding region. The downstream consequence is a substantially narrower pharmacological profile than HGH.

How to order

Ordering AOD9604 from Medabol

Kit and minimum: AOD9604 is sold by the kit: 10 vials of one specification (2 mg, 5 mg, 6 mg and 10 mg). The minimum is 1 kit per SKU, so an individual buyer can order a single kit and a lab can order many.
Price: Reference prices are listed per kit above, from $101.20. The kits of your whole quote list count together — 5–19 kits are 20% off every kit, and from 20 kits our sales team quotes the price — so AOD9604 adds up with anything else you order; your written quote has the final price.
Documents: Every lot has its own COA with HPLC purity and MS identity; the order ships with the certificate of its lot, and our sales team sends it before you order if you ask.
Shipping: Orders ship from China by international express courier. Shipping from $80 per order; the written quote confirms the exact charge for your destination.
Payment: Nothing is paid on this website. After you send your quote list, a sales representative confirms the amount and shipping on WhatsApp or by email and tells you in that chat how to pay.
Research goal: Listed under Hormone & growth axis — GH secretagogues, GHRH analogues, IGF-1 variants and reproductive-axis peptides.
