AOD9604 is an orally active, lipolytic peptide fragment of human growth hormone and derivative of the C-terminal domain of human growth hormone (HGH). It consists of HGH residues 176–191, with a tyrosine in place of the phenylalanine at the N-terminal end.[1] Initial human trials showed that it retains the lipolytic properties of human growth hormone without stimulating IGF-1 production.[2] However, later studies failed to demonstrate a sufficient lipolytic effect. Its development was terminated in 2007.[3][4] Despite its limited efficacy, AOD9604 is still banned in athletes and tested for in competition.[5][6][7]
Mechanism of action
AOD9604 appears to enhance lipolysis in mice by upregulating beta-3 adrenergic receptors. Beta-3 adrenergic receptor knockout mice are unresponsive to the lipolytic effects of AOD9604.[1]
Clinical data
In a 12 week randomised clinical trial, subjects receiving AOD9604 lost, on average, 1.8kg more than those receiving placebo.[8] Development of AOD9604 was halted following insignificant efficacy in a later 24 week trial.[8]
