This page compares what is documented about Adipotide (FTPP) and AOD9604, rather than ranking them by effect. What each molecule is, the sizes and prices actually carried, what the certificate covers, and how the two differ on the bench. Everything here is research-use-only material and we do not publish outcome, dosing or administration content for any compound in the catalogue.
What is Adipotide (FTPP) and what is AOD9604?
Adipotide (FTPP). Adipotide is a peptidomimetic construct pairing a targeting sequence with a second functional element, which makes it structurally unlike the single-chain peptides beside it in the catalogue.
AOD9604. AOD9604 is the C-terminal hGH(177-191) fragment with a disulfide loop — studied in lipolysis models precisely because it strips away the rest of the hormone's activity.

At their best sizes AOD9604 works out at $7.50 per mg against $10.50 for Adipotide (FTPP) — 40% more for the mg. Vial prices start at $100.00 and $44.00 respectively, which is the number most people compare and the one that says least, because the two are not sold in the same sizes. Full sizes, tier pricing and the lot certificate sit on the Adipotide (FTPP) page and the AOD9604 page.
What is each one studied for?
What the published literature investigates, which is a different question from what either will do, and the only one of the two a supplier can answer.
Adipotide (FTPP) is studied in targeted peptide research. Targeted peptide constructs are a long-running theme in the delivery literature.
AOD9604 is studied in lipolysis-model research. Fragment-based hormone research continues to use AOD9604 as the canonical example of isolating one activity from a parent hormone.
Studied in the same area does not make two compounds interchangeable, and the research library holds the per-compound documentation.
AOD9604 vs Adipotide (FTPP): how they differ on the bench
AOD9604. The disulfide bridge is the fragile part: reducing conditions break AOD9604 into something else entirely. Storage dry and dark protects it.
Adipotide (FTPP). Constructs with two functional halves can degrade asymmetrically, so purity figures matter more than a single identity confirmation.
What actually differs between AOD9604 and Adipotide (FTPP)
Worth doing the arithmetic before comparing sizes: Adipotide (FTPP) is 2,557.2 g/mol and AOD9604 is 1,815.1 g/mol, a factor of 1.4. A milligram of AOD9604 therefore contains roughly 1.4 times as many molecules as a milligram of Adipotide (FTPP), so two vials of the same labelled mass hold quite different amounts of substance. Equal milligrams are not equal moles, which is what the molarity calculator exists to convert, and it is the reason a price-per-milligram comparison and a price-per-mole comparison can point at different vials.
Identity is the other analytical axis, and it is settled per lot rather than per compound. AOD9604. Catalogued as AOD-9604, and the certificate's identity test resolves to that.
Both are released against a certificate reporting identity, purity by the stated method and net peptide content, readable before anything is bought.
Which is better, AOD9604 or Adipotide (FTPP)?
Neither AOD9604 nor Adipotide (FTPP) is ranked against the other here, and the refusal is deliberate. Better, safer and stronger are questions about effects in a living system, and we sell neither compound for use in one — why none of these pages ranks two compounds sets out the reasoning in full.
What it does instead, for these two:
- AOD9604 is the cheaper of the two per mg, at $7.50 against $10.50.
- Adipotide (FTPP) is the heavier molecule by a factor of 1.4, so equal milligrams are not equal moles.
- Both are carried in 2 sizes, and each lot carries its own certificate.
Every one of those is checkable before you buy.
Common questions
What is the difference between AOD9604 and Adipotide (FTPP)?
Different molecules before anything else: AOD9604 is C78H123N23O23S2 and Adipotide (FTPP) is C111H206N36O28S2. AOD9604 is the C-terminal hGH(177-191) fragment with a disulfide loop — studied in lipolysis models precisely because it strips away the rest of the hormone's activity. Adipotide is a peptidomimetic construct pairing a targeting sequence with a second functional element, which makes it structurally unlike the single-chain peptides beside it in the catalogue.
Which one should I choose?
Adipotide (FTPP) is carried in 5 mg, 10 mg and AOD9604 in 5 mg, 10 mg, each lot with its own certificate. Which of those suits the work is yours to decide; everything here is research-use-only rather than guidance for use in a human or an animal.
Do both Adipotide (FTPP) and AOD9604 come with a certificate of analysis?
Neither is in stock at the moment, so in each case the certificate is the one attached to the lot that arrives. A certificate belongs to a lot, not to a product. It is linked from the product page, and reports identity, purity by the stated method, and net peptide content for the material actually in that lot.
Which is cheaper, AOD9604 or Adipotide (FTPP)?
Per mg, AOD9604 at $7.50 against $10.50, taking each one's best size. By vial they start at $100.00 for Adipotide (FTPP) and $44.00 for AOD9604, which is the comparison most people make and the one that says least, because the two are not sold in the same sizes.
Is a milligram of Adipotide (FTPP) the same as a milligram of AOD9604?
By mass yes, by amount of substance no. Adipotide (FTPP) is 2,557.2 g/mol and AOD9604 is 1,815.1 g/mol, a factor of 1.4, so a milligram of AOD9604 holds roughly 1.4 times as many molecules. Two vials with the same number on the label are not the same amount of substance, which is what the molarity calculator converts.
