MOLECULE PROFILE

AOD-9604

Peptide or peptide-related

Modified growth-hormone-related fragment promoted for fat loss. A shared origin with GH does not establish shared clinical outcomes.

Sources checked · October 16, 2026

Published for review · Scientific, medical, translation and citation review pending. Reported uses are not authorized indications. Frequency reflects mentions in supplied sources, not sales or global clinical prevalence.

Identity and synonyms

Tyr-hGH(177–191); not hCG and not automatically equivalent to hGH fragment 176–191.

Synonyms: Tyr-hGH(177–191) · AOD9604 · AOD 9064 (source spelling; provisional correction)

Peptide or peptide-related · Peptide or peptide derivative

Detailed molecular class: Modified GH fragment

Supplied sequence or chemical reference

See identity note; no supplier sequence accepted as verification.

Mechanism

Proposed metabolic effects of a GH-related fragment; not full-length GH replacement.

Evidence and critical reading

Reported scientific and empirical uses

Reported weight management

Handbooks describe subcutaneous uses and joint combinations with hyaluronic acid. The guide separates obesity, joint repair and each formulation rather than treating them as interchangeable applications.

Human evidence

The obesity development program did not establish clinically useful weight-loss efficacy. Oral/IV safety summaries do not validate community subcutaneous use.

Preclinical evidence

Animal lipolysis findings did not establish human obesity treatment.

Critical reading and limitations

The FDA assessment reviews an obesity program including a trial without significant weight-loss benefit. That result does not validate an alternative injection regimen. A handbook quantity remains attributed to its source; an insufficiently supported safety claim is identified accordingly.

Evidence applies to the exact molecule, formulation, route, population and endpoint studied. Supplier identity, purity and clinical equivalence are unverified.

Source-specific regimens

Descriptive source observations, not individual recommendations.

Regulatory product labeling

Listed regimens preserve source/context. An empty layer means no regimen attributable to this identity was verified in this review; it does not prove universal absence of data.

Human-study exposure

Listed regimens preserve source/context. An empty layer means no regimen attributable to this identity was verified in this review; it does not prove universal absence of data.

Empirical handbook

NOT A RECOMMENDATION.Each amount is attributed to the source identified for that entry: regulatory product labeling, human research, or community and practice sources. These source categories have different evidentiary roles. They are not medical advice, not a protocol, not a recommended or safe dose, and not evidence that it works. Do not use them to start, change or stop any treatment. Talk to a qualified healthcare professional.

Interpretation
Documentary handbook claim, not a validated regimen. Its safety assertion requires independent checking; FDA describes limited safety information and potential risks.

Regulation and safety

Jurisdiction-specific regulatory context

US: investigational; advisory assessment is not approval.

Adverse effects and unknowns

Limited route-specific safety and immunogenicity concerns; no basis for claims of no proliferative risk.

Contraindications

See supported safety statements and exact product label; a complete contraindication set has not been established for this catalog material.

A complete list must match the exact authorized product. For experimental materials without verified human labeling, a complete contraindication set is not established here. No list does not mean safety.

Interactions

Only explicitly cited interactions may be asserted; unstudied combinations remain unknown, not interaction-free.

Separate documented interaction, pharmacologic plausibility and unknown interaction. Absence of a blend trial does not establish compatibility.

Studies and trials

Selected studies

No selected studies are attributed in this record.

Trials attributed in the package

No trials are attributed in this record.

Trial registration does not establish efficacy or validate commercial material.
