/ Abstract
We present analytical results for the QCD $β$-function extended to the gaugeless limit of the unbroken phase of the Standard Model at four-loop level. Apart from the strong coupling itself we include the top-Yukawa contribution and the Higgs self-coupling. We observe a non-naive $γ_5$ contribution at order $y_t^4 g_s^4$, a feature not encountered in lower loop orders.
