Frequently asked

How long does AOD-9604 stay in your system?

With a half-life of ≈ 3 min (IV, porcine), roughly 97% of a single AOD-9604 dose is cleared after five half-lives — about 0.3 hours. Repeated dosing accumulates and takes correspondingly longer to clear.

What does a ≈ 3 min (IV, porcine) half-life mean in practice?

Every 3 min (IV, porcine), the remaining amount halves: 100% → 50% → 25% → 12.5%, and so on. The curve above plots exactly this decay for a single dose.

Where does this AOD-9604 half-life number come from?

PubMed 11146367 (Ng 2000, Horm Res — AOD9604 metabolic studies; rapid IV clearance, t½ ≈ 3 min in porcine model). We cite a primary source for every half-life we publish and version every change.
