What is AOD-9604?
AOD-9604 is a synthetic peptide based on the C-terminal region of human growth hormone, specifically a tyrosine-bearing analogue of the 176-191 fragment (Tyr-hGH 177-191). It carries the molecular formula C78H123N23O23S2, a molecular weight of 1815.1 g/mol, and the CAS number 221231-10-3. Kovalabs supplies it as a lyophilised research material.
Because it is a structural relative of HGH Fragment 176-191, AOD-9604 is sometimes catalogued alongside it as a reference standard. It is a research chemical only and is not a medicine.
Is AOD-9604 legal in the UK?
AOD-9604 is not a controlled drug under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971, and it is not a licensed medicine in the UK. Kovalabs supplies it strictly as a research material for laboratory use, not for human or veterinary consumption. It must not be administered to people or animals. Purchasers are responsible for complying with the laws and institutional rules that apply to handling research chemicals in their jurisdiction.
How is identity and quality assured?
Every batch is released only after independent analytical testing. Purity is assessed by HPLC at 99% or higher, and identity is confirmed against the expected mass and the verified identifiers: CAS 221231-10-3, PubChem CID 71300630, and molecular formula C78H123N23O23S2. Because quality varies between suppliers, a Certificate of Analysis documents these results so the material can be verified before use in research. You can review our published records on the CoA page.
What does the research on AOD-9604 investigate?
The published literature investigates AOD-9604 as a fragment-derived peptide in pre-clinical metabolic-pathway studies, conducted in vitro and in animal models. None of this establishes any benefit, effect or outcome in humans, and AOD-9604 is not a licensed medicine. For a referenced overview of the study designs and pathways involved, see the AOD-9604 research monograph. Full terms are set out in our research disclaimer.
Synthesis and supply
AOD-9604 is manufactured by solid-phase peptide synthesis and supplied as a white to off-white lyophilised powder. For laboratory handling it is typically reconstituted with bacteriostatic water and held at 2-8C once in solution; the sealed lyophilised vial is stored at -20C, dry and protected from light. It sits within our metabolic research category alongside related materials such as MOTS-c and Cagrilintide. Supplied for laboratory research use only; not for human or veterinary use.

- Is AOD-9604 legal in the UK?
- AOD-9604 is not a controlled drug under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971, and it is not a licensed medicine in the UK. Kovalabs supplies it as a research material only, not for human or veterinary consumption. Purchasers are responsible for complying with the laws and institutional rules that govern handling research chemicals in their location.
- Is AOD-9604 a peptide?
- Yes. AOD-9604 is a synthetic peptide, a tyrosine-bearing analogue of the human growth hormone 176-191 fragment (Tyr-hGH 177-191). It is supplied as a lyophilised powder with the molecular formula C78H123N23O23S2 and molecular weight 1815.1 g/mol. It is a research chemical, not a medicine.
- Is AOD-9604 for human use?
- No. AOD-9604 is supplied strictly as a research material for laboratory use only. It is not a medicine, it is not approved for human or veterinary use, and it must not be administered to people or animals. Kovalabs does not provide it for any form of human consumption or application.
- Has AOD-9604 been shown to be safe or effective in humans?
- No. The published literature on AOD-9604 consists of pre-clinical work in vitro and in animal models, which does not establish any benefit, effect or outcome in humans. AOD-9604 is not a licensed medicine and no human safety or efficacy is claimed. It is supplied for laboratory research use only.
- What does the research on AOD-9604 investigate?
- The literature investigates AOD-9604 as a fragment-derived peptide in pre-clinical metabolic-pathway studies, performed in vitro and in animal models. None of this demonstrates an effect in humans, and AOD-9604 is not a medicine. A referenced overview of the study designs is available in our AOD-9604 research monograph.
- How is AOD-9604 different from HGH Fragment 176-191?
- Both are research peptides derived from the C-terminal region of human growth hormone. AOD-9604 is a modified analogue that adds a tyrosine residue to the 176-191 sequence (Tyr-hGH 177-191), giving it a distinct molecular formula, C78H123N23O23S2, and CAS number 221231-10-3. Both are supplied as research chemicals only.
- Is all AOD-9604 the same?
- No. Quality varies between suppliers, which is why Kovalabs releases each batch only after independent testing. Purity is assessed by HPLC at 99% or higher and identity is confirmed against the expected mass and verified identifiers. A Certificate of Analysis documents these results so the material can be verified before use in research.
- What are the molecular identifiers for AOD-9604?
- AOD-9604 has the molecular formula C78H123N23O23S2, a molecular weight of 1815.1 g/mol, and CAS number 221231-10-3. Its PubChem CID is 71300630 and it is also catalogued under the synonym Tyr-hGH (177-191). These identifiers are stated on the Certificate of Analysis so the material can be verified.
- How is AOD-9604 supplied and reconstituted?
- AOD-9604 is supplied as a white to off-white lyophilised powder produced by solid-phase peptide synthesis. For laboratory handling it is typically reconstituted with bacteriostatic water. This describes preparation of a research sample only; the material is not for human or veterinary use and must not be administered to people or animals.
- How should AOD-9604 be stored?
- The sealed lyophilised vial should be stored at -20C, kept dry and protected from light. Once reconstituted, the solution should be held at 2-8C. Proper storage helps preserve the integrity of the research material. AOD-9604 is supplied for laboratory research use only.
- Does AOD-9604 come with a Certificate of Analysis?
- Yes. Every batch of AOD-9604 is released with a Certificate of Analysis confirming purity by HPLC at 99% or higher and identity against the expected mass and verified identifiers. Published records are available on our CoA page, supporting verification of the material before it is used in research.
