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.
For synthetic research peptides, purity is determined by HPLC and identity is confirmed by mass spectrometry. Independent third-party testing is expanding across the catalog, and each certificate of analysis is published on the product page it covers as results come back. Refer to that certificate for the testing laboratory, the methods run, and the measured values. Endotoxin and sterility testing are not performed unless explicitly stated.
