About 5-Amino-1MQ
5-Amino-1MQ (5-amino-1-methylquinolinium) is a small heterocyclic compound that functions as a selective inhibitor of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), the enzyme responsible for catalyzing the transfer of a methyl group from S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) to nicotinamide, forming 1-methylnicotinamide (MNA). By inhibiting NNMT, 5-amino-1MQ prevents the consumption of SAM methyl groups in this pathway, thereby increasing the availability of SAM-derived methyl donors for other methylation reactions and potentially elevating cellular NAD+ precursor pools in experimental models.
Research applications of 5-amino-1MQ encompass NNMT enzyme inhibition kinetics and IC₅₀ determination studies, SAM/SAH ratio modulation in cell culture models, NAD+ metabolome characterization, and investigation of NNMT's role in adipocyte metabolism, one-carbon metabolism flux, and epigenetic methylation regulation. The compound is a frequently used probe in NNMT biology research and is of scientific interest as a tool for studying metabolic reprogramming in cellular models. This product is intended for qualified laboratory research use only.

Lyophilized Research Peptides
This product is supplied in lyophilized (freeze-dried) form — a process that extends shelf life and preserves peptide purity and structural integrity during storage. No fillers, excipients, or preservatives are used in the lyophilization process. The lyophilized powder should be reconstituted with an appropriate research-grade solvent in a controlled laboratory environment prior to use in in vitro or preclinical assay systems.
