AOD9604 is a modified peptide chain containing 16 amino acids, specifically a fragment of human growth hormone from residues 176-191, with a tyrosine added to the N-terminus for stabilization. It is also known by the synonyms Lipotropin and Tyr-hGH Fragment 176-191.

This peptide was developed as a potential anti-obesity treatment. It works by stimulating lipolysis (the breakdown of fat) and inhibiting lipogenesis (the formation of new fat stores). Unlike unmodified HGH, AOD9604 is designed to not interact with HGH receptors and therefore does not appear to affect blood sugar, insulin levels, or cause the cell proliferation (growth) associated with standard HGH therapy.

While early studies showed promise, its development as a therapeutic drug was halted after later-stage clinical trials showed insufficient efficacy. Today, it remains a popular compound for laboratory and research use to study fat metabolism.
