5-Amino-1MQ

Description

5-Amino-1MQ (5-amino-1-methylquinolinium) is a small-molecule inhibitor of the enzyme nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT). We supply it as a powder in 10MG, 20MG or 50MG sizes.

What is 5-Amino-1MQ?

It is not a peptide but a small quaternary quinolinium compound (cation formula C10H11N2+). It is studied because NNMT methylates nicotinamide, a form of vitamin B3, which removes nicotinamide from the NAD+ salvage pathway.

Inhibiting NNMT is therefore studied as a way of altering cellular NAD+ metabolism and methyl-donor balance.

5-Amino-1MQ in published research

Published work has examined NNMT inhibition with this compound in adipocyte cultures and in mouse models of diet-induced obesity, looking at NAD+ levels and energy expenditure. These are preclinical findings.

Preparation, handling and storage

5-Amino-1MQ is shipped as a freeze-dried (lyophilised) solid. Lyophilisation removes water at low temperature and pressure, which generally makes a peptide more stable in transit and storage than a solution. Before use, the powder is reconstituted with a diluent chosen by your protocol. Common laboratory options include bacteriostatic water, sterile water, dilute acetic acid or a buffered saline such as PBS. Add the diluent slowly down the inside wall of the vial and swirl gently rather than shaking, which can cause foaming.

Keep unopened vials sealed, cold, dry and away from light. After reconstitution, refrigerate the vial and mark it with the date and concentration. For longer storage, keep the product frozen, as printed on the label. Where your protocol allows, divide material into aliquots to avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles.
