AOD9604 is a modified, orally active analogue of the hGH C-terminal fragment (residues 177-191 with N-terminal tyrosine addition and disulfide cyclisation), first developed in the 1990s by Metabolic Pharmaceuticals for obesity treatment. It selectively stimulates lipolysis via upregulation of beta-3 adrenergic receptors without elevating IGF-1 or causing hGH-like anabolic side effects. Despite promising early rodent data, clinical trials showed modest efficacy (1.8 kg additional loss over 12 weeks), leading to development termination in 2007. This research-grade lyophilized powder is synthesized under strict quality controls and provided with full analytical documentation, ideal for metabolic, obesity, and cartilage repair studies.
