5-Amino-1MQ (5-amino-1-methylquinolinium) is a small-molecule research compound studied as an inhibitor of the enzyme nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT).
NNMT is an enzyme involved in cellular methylation and NAD+ metabolism. 5-Amino-1MQ is used as a tool compound to probe NNMT activity in cell-culture research, particularly in adipocyte and metabolic models.
In cell-based research models, 5-Amino-1MQ has been investigated for NNMT enzyme inhibition and downstream effects on cellular NAD+ and methylation pathways. These observations are limited to laboratory and preclinical research settings and are not statements about outcomes in humans.
Supplied as a lyophilized powder. Store lyophilized material at -20°C. Reconstitution with bacteriostatic or sterile water is common for laboratory handling; keep any reconstituted solution refrigerated and use it within the timeframe appropriate to the researcher’s protocol.
Purity is determined by HPLC and identity is confirmed by mass spectrometry. Each batch ships with a batch-specific certificate of analysis from an independent third-party laboratory; refer to the COA for lot-specific measured values. Endotoxin and sterility testing are not performed unless explicitly stated.
