Research Background

About 5-Amino-1MQ 50mg

What it is

5-Amino-1MQ is a small-molecule research compound, not a peptide, belonging to the quinolinium chemical class. It has been characterized in the literature as a selective inhibitor of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), a metabolic enzyme. It is supplied as a lyophilized powder for laboratory use.

Research areas

NNMT inhibition using 5-Amino-1MQ has been investigated in preclinical rodent models of diet-induced weight gain and adipose tissue metabolism. It has also appeared in preclinical literature examining skeletal muscle tissue composition.

Storage & handling

The lyophilized powder is stored frozen and protected from light. It is kept in its original sealed container until laboratory use to limit exposure to moisture and temperature change. The container is not repeatedly removed from and returned to frozen storage.

Research context

NNMT catalyzes the transfer of a methyl group from S-adenosylmethionine to nicotinamide, a reaction that links its activity to cellular methylation capacity and has drawn interest from epigenetics researchers in addition to metabolism-focused laboratories. 5-Amino-1MQ is used as a chemical probe to study this enzyme's function across these research contexts. As a small molecule rather than a peptide, it is synthesized chemically instead of assembled from amino acid chains.

All compounds are supplied for in-vitro laboratory research and identification purposes only. Not for human or animal use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our compounds are tested by an independent third-party laboratory, and we publish the certificate for each one in our COA library. COAs are available on request and show HPLC and mass spectrometry data.

Each COA includes: compound identity confirmation, purity percentage via HPLC, mass spectrometry verification, batch number, and testing date. All testing is performed by an independent third-party laboratory. For research purposes only.

Lyophilized (freeze-dried) peptides should be stored at -20°C and kept away from light and moisture for maximum stability. Once reconstituted, store at 4°C and use within 30 days. All compounds are shipped with appropriate packaging to maintain integrity during transit. For laboratory research use only.

Orders placed by 4PM ET are dispatched the same day, seven days a week. Every order ships from the US with tracked shipping, and your tracking number is emailed the day it ships. Most domestic orders arrive within 2–5 business days.

No. All compounds sold by Core Research Peptides are strictly for in-vitro laboratory research purposes only.
