Overview

AOD-9604 (Anti-Obesity Drug 9604) is a synthetic peptide fragment corresponding to amino acids 177–191 of human growth hormone with a tyrosine residue added at the N-terminus. Originally developed by Monash University for obesity treatment, it reached Phase 2b clinical trials and demonstrated lipolytic activity in both animal and human studies.

Mechanism of Action

AOD-9604 stimulates lipolysis in adipocytes and inhibits lipogenesis through β3-adrenergic signaling, mirroring the fat-metabolizing region of HGH. It operates independently of the IGF-1/insulin axis, avoiding the diabetogenic effects associated with full-length growth hormone.

Common Research Uses
