5-Amino-1MQ

5-Amino-1MQ, also known as 5-amino-1-methylquinolinium, is a synthetic quinolinium-based small molecule investigated as an inhibitor of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT). Unlike the peptide compounds in the Amino Labs catalogue, 5-Amino-1MQ is a small molecule and does not contain an amino-acid peptide backbone. NNMT is an enzyme involved in the metabolism of nicotinamide and S-adenosylmethionine (SAM), linking it to cellular NAD+ and methylation pathways. 5-Amino-1MQ has therefore attracted research interest as a chemical tool for investigating NNMT activity and related metabolic processes. The 30 mg presentation is intended for qualified research environments conducting controlled investigations into NNMT enzymology, NAD+ metabolism, methylation biology, cellular metabolism, and related biochemical pathways.

Key Features

30 mg research-grade 5-Amino-1MQ 5-amino-1-methylquinolinium Small-molecule NNMT inhibitor Relevant to NAD+ and methylation research Suitable for biochemical and cellular research Intended for controlled laboratory research Appropriate for enzyme-inhibition and metabolic pathway studies Suitable for analytical characterization and batch-level documentation Research Focus 5-Amino-1MQ has been investigated as a tool compound for studying NNMT inhibition and its relationship to cellular nicotinamide metabolism. Preclinical research has examined NNMT activity in biochemical, cell-culture, and animal models, making 5-Amino-1MQ relevant to metabolic and enzymology research. The available evidence for 5-Amino-1MQ remains predominantly preclinical, with no established human clinical efficacy or safety profile. Accordingly, its use is best described in the context of laboratory investigation rather than therapeutic application.
