Buy AOD-9604 in Australia from Macropus Peptides in 2mg, 5mg and 10mg vials. It is a 16 amino acid peptide modelled on the C-terminal end of human growth hormone, first developed in Melbourne and studied for its effects on fat metabolism in laboratory and animal research. Every vial holds the research-grade peptide as a lyophilised powder, sealed and labelled with compound, strength, lot number and storage temperature, and each lot has its own certificate of analysis. The 5mg vial is priced and ready to order, while the 2mg and 10mg vials are quoted on request. Unlike full growth hormone, it does not act as a growth hormone or raise IGF-1 in published research, which is why it is studied on its own. Order AOD-9604 online, add bacteriostatic water or dilute acetic acid for reconstitution, and your parcel is dispatched from Australian stock to any Australian address. AOD-9604 for sale to researchers aged 18 and over, strictly for in-vitro laboratory research and not for human or veterinary use.

Buy AOD-9604 Australia: 2mg, 5mg and 10mg Vials

Macropus Peptides offers AOD-9604 Australia wide as 2mg, 5mg and 10mg vials. It is a modified fragment of human growth hormone with a research history that began in Melbourne, and we supply it as research-grade freeze-dried peptide for laboratory study. Whichever size you pick, the peptide is identical: same source, same batch release, just a different fill.

What is AOD-9604

AOD-9604 is a synthetic peptide of 16 amino acids. Its sequence is residues 177 to 191 of human growth hormone, the very end of the hormone's C-terminal tail, with an extra tyrosine added at the front; two cysteines in the chain are joined by a disulfide bond that holds it in a loop. The name comes from its original development code, and it is also described as a modified hGH fragment or Tyr-hGH 177-191. The peptide came out of Australian research in the 1990s into which part of growth hormone controls fat metabolism, and it was later developed by a Melbourne biotechnology company. It is not a growth hormone: it does not reproduce the growth-promoting actions of the full hormone.

How the AOD-9604 peptide works in research

Full-length growth hormone affects growth, blood sugar and fat metabolism at once. Researchers found that the fat-metabolism activity could be traced to the C-terminal region, and this peptide was designed to keep that activity while leaving the rest behind. In fat cell and animal studies it was linked to increased breakdown of stored fat, known as lipolysis, and reduced formation of new fat, known as lipogenesis, without raising IGF-1 or affecting blood sugar the way whole growth hormone does. Studies in genetically modified mice pointed to a role for beta-3 adrenergic receptors in its action. Laboratories use it to study how growth hormone's metabolic effects can be separated from its growth effects.

AOD-9604 research: what the studies show

Its research record starts with work on synthetic growth hormone fragments that appeared in 1993 in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology International. Studies of the peptide itself followed, including a 2000 paper in Hormone Research on its metabolic effects and a 2001 paper in Endocrinology on lipid metabolism in obese mice and beta-3 receptor knockout mice. The compound then entered human clinical trials as a potential obesity medicine, but development for that use was stopped after a phase 2b trial, and it has never been registered as a medicine. The full list of papers sits in our AOD-9604 research studies library, linked to PubMed.

Amount5 mg
FormLyophilised powder
CategoryGrowth hormone research
Storage-20 °C, protect from light

Each vial contains the peptide as a white lyophilised powder under a sealed closure, with a printed label showing compound, strength, lot number and storage temperature. Quote that lot number to receive the matching certificate of analysis. Sealed vials keep best frozen at -20 °C and protected from light. Once mixed, store the solution chilled at 2 to 8 °C and use it within the time your protocol allows, avoiding repeated freezing and thawing.

AOD-9604 5mg$99.99$20.00 per mg
AOD-9604 10mgPrice to confirm-

Only the 5mg vial is priced right now, in Australian dollars, with 2mg and 10mg supplied on quote. The 5mg vial suits most studies, while the 10mg vial will usually give the lowest cost per milligram once priced, for longer projects on a single lot.

AOD-9604 5mg: where to buy in Australia

This is the strength we price for immediate order and the one most laboratories choose. Five milligrams covers method development and a full study run on the same lot number. Two millilitres of bacteriostatic water brings it to 2.5 mg per mL; if your protocol calls for a stronger stock, one millilitre gives 5 mg per mL.

AOD-9604 10mg: the larger vial for longer studies

It holds twice the peptide of the 5mg vial and suits longer projects or multi-arm studies that need to stay on one lot. It is quoted on request. Adding 2 mL of diluent to this larger vial produces 5 mg in each millilitre.

AOD-9604 2mg: the pilot vial

The 2mg size is the smallest vial, meant for first handling of the peptide, single experiments and method checks, where a larger vial would sit partly unused. It is quoted on request. One millilitre of diluent gives a 2 mg per mL stock.

AOD-9604 reconstitution: calculator, cloudiness and acetic acid

The concentration calculator in each listing shows the resulting concentration, in mg and mcg per mL, for whatever diluent volume you enter. Most laboratories reconstitute it in bacteriostatic water. Because the peptide can turn cloudy or gel-like at high concentrations, some protocols use dilute acetic acid instead, which keeps it in solution more readily. If a solution looks cloudy, the usual causes are too little diluent or a diluent that does not suit the peptide; adding the liquid slowly down the vial wall and swirling gently, rather than shaking, also helps. Do not use any solution that contains visible particles.

Is AOD-9604 available in Australia

Laboratories in Australia can obtain it as research material, and that is the only basis on which we sell it. With no ARTG registration, it may not be supplied for use in people or animals. It is also treated as a prohibited substance in sport under the World Anti-Doping Code. Peptide scheduling is set by the TGA through the Poisons Standard and can change, so check the current position for your organisation before ordering.

AOD-9604 for sale Australia wide

We pack every order in Australia and post them nationally, from the capitals to regional centres. Researchers comparing growth hormone derived peptides often look at HGH Fragment 176-191, the unmodified fragment, and Tesamorelin, which acts on the growth hormone releasing hormone receptor instead. The full growth hormone research range is listed alongside.
