Batch-specific documentation may include HPLC purity, identity confirmation and lot information. Refer to the supplied COA or the COA policy for current documentation scope.

Reconstitution and handling

Allow lyophilised material to equilibrate before opening to reduce condensation risk. Add validated solvent slowly down the vial wall, avoid vigorous shaking, and record the final concentration in the laboratory notebook or LIMS.

Use aseptic technique, calibrated pipettes or syringes, and validated diluent choices for the assay system. Reconstituted materials should be aliquoted where appropriate to reduce repeated freeze-thaw exposure.

Storage

Store unopened material according to the stated condition: Room temperature, protected from light. Keep vials sealed, dry and protected from light. Reconstituted solutions should be stored under validated laboratory conditions and discarded according to internal SOPs and applicable research-waste rules.

Research-use statement

5-Amino-1MQ 50 mg is sold by Peptide Shop for research use only. It is not a medicine, food, cosmetic, supplement or diagnostic product. Buyers are responsible for ensuring lawful purchase, storage, handling and disposal under their institutional and local requirements.

FAQs

What forms of 5-Amino-1MQ are available?

We offer 5-Amino-1MQ in two convenient forms: Oral Capsules (50mg per capsule) for precise dosing convenience, and High-Purity Powder (99%) for flexible research applications. Both forms maintain the same exceptional purity standards.

What is 5-Amino-1MQ used for in research?

5-Amino-1MQ is used to study nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT) inhibition and its effects on cellular metabolism, NAD+ levels, energy expenditure, and adipose tissue function. It's a key tool for metabolic ageing and obesity research.

What is NNMT and why is its inhibition researched?

NNMT is an enzyme that methylates nicotinamide, consuming SAM (S-adenosylmethionine). High NNMT activity is associated with obesity and metabolic dysfunction. Inhibition may preserve NAD+ precursors and improve metabolic function.

How does 5-Amino-1MQ affect NAD+ metabolism?

By inhibiting NNMT, 5-Amino-1MQ may preserve nicotinamide for NAD+ synthesis rather than methylation. This research application connects to NAD+ biology and cellular energy metabolism.

How should 5-Amino-1MQ be stored?

Store at room temperature, protected from light and moisture. Both capsule and powder forms are stable at ambient conditions when kept dry. Capsules should be kept in their original container.

What purity is your 5-Amino-1MQ?

Our 5-Amino-1MQ is ≥99% pure as verified by HPLC. Both capsule and powder forms meet this purity standard. Each batch includes a Certificate of Analysis with purity and identity data.

What is the difference between capsules and powder?

Oral Capsules (50mg) offer precise, pre-measured doses ideal for consistent research protocols. High-Purity Powder (99%) provides flexibility for custom concentration preparation and larger-scale studies.

What is the minimum order requirement?

A site-wide minimum order value of €150 applies; combine multiple items to reach the threshold. This applies to any combination of capsules or powder forms.

What is 5-Amino-1MQ?

5-Amino-1-methylquinolinium (5-Amino-1MQ) is a small-molecule NNMT (nicotinamide N-methyltransferase) inhibitor. It is studied for effects on NAD+ metabolism, adipogenesis inhibition, and energy expenditure. CAS number 5765-44-6.

What is NNMT and why is it a research target?

NNMT methylates nicotinamide, reducing NAD+ availability and affecting cellular metabolism. Inhibiting NNMT has been studied as a strategy to increase NAD+ levels, reduce adipogenesis, and modulate metabolic pathways in obesity and metabolic disease research.

Why is 5-Amino-1MQ supplied as capsules?

5-Amino-1MQ is supplied as oral capsules (60 × 50 mg) because research protocols frequently involve oral bioavailability studies and in-vivo metabolic experiments. The capsule format matches how it is administered in animal model protocols.

What is the CAS number for 5-Amino-1MQ?

CAS number: 5765-44-6. Molecular formula: C10H11ClN2 (as HCl salt). It is a quinolinium compound and NNMT inhibitor distinct from 1-methylnicotinamide.
