AOD-9604 5mg

Description

Our AOD-9604 5mg vial holds 5mg of lyophilized AOD-9604, a modified hGH fragment. It’s intended for lab research only.

AOD-9604 at a glance

AOD-9604 is a modified fragment of human growth hormone (residues 177-191 with an added tyrosine). It was developed at Monash University to study fat metabolism without GH’s effects on growth or IGF-1.

Metabolic Pharmaceuticals took it into trials.

How AOD-9604 acts in the lab

Growth hormone has a region near its C-terminal end, residues 177 to 191, that seems to account for its effect on fat breakdown. AOD-9604 is that fragment with a tyrosine added at the front.

In animal studies it increased lipolysis and reduced lipogenesis in fat cells. It doesn’t bind the growth hormone receptor the way full GH does, and it didn’t raise IGF-1 in trials, which is what made it interesting as a tool for separating GH’s fat effects from its growth effects.

Published AOD-9604 studies

Heffernan and colleagues reported in 2001 that it reduced body fat in obese mice.

Phase 2b trials didn’t show significant weight loss compared with placebo.

The primary literature is on PubMed. Here’s a search for AOD-9604 studies to start from.

AOD-9604 purity and COA

Every batch of AOD-9604 5mg is made to a minimum of 99% purity by HPLC.

Each vial is labeled with the compound, the amount and a batch number. The certificate of analysis is filed under that batch number, so if you need the COA for your records, email us the number on your label and we’ll send it.

If a result in your own work looks off, check the batch number first, then the reconstitution math. Most problems with AOD-9604 come from storage or mixing, not the powder.

Reconstituting AOD-9604 5mg

Concentration is just the amount in the vial divided by the liquid you add. With 5mg in this vial:

• 1mL of diluent gives 5mg/mL
• 2mL of diluent gives 2.5mg/mL
• 3mL of diluent gives 1.67mg/mL

Go with whichever number is easiest to work with in your protocol, and label the vial with the concentration and the date you mixed it.

Most labs use sterile bacteriostatic water or our research diluent solution. Let the vial reach room temperature, run the liquid slowly down the inside of the glass, then roll it gently until the powder dissolves. Don’t shake it. Shaking can shear peptide chains.

AOD-9604 5mg storage and shelf life

Unopened, keep AOD-9604 5mg in a fridge at 2 to 8°C, or in a freezer at -20°C if it’ll be a while before you use it. Keep it out of direct light. Once mixed, keep it refrigerated and use it within about four weeks.

Before you order AOD-9604 5mg

Check you have everything before the vial arrives: a sterile diluent such as our research diluent solution, sterile syringes, alcohol swabs and room in the fridge. Our vial case holds ten vials upright, and the vial opener pops flip-off caps cleanly.
