Description
5-Amino-1MQ (5-amino-1-methylquinolinium) is a small-molecule compound rather than a peptide, studied as a cell-permeable inhibitor of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT). The quinolinium cation has the formula C10H11N2+; commercial material is typically supplied as a chloride or iodide salt, and the exact salt form should be confirmed against the certificate of analysis for this batch.
Research on 5-Amino-1MQ has examined NNMT enzymatic inhibition, its downstream effects on cellular nicotinamide and S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) pools, and adipocyte metabolic signaling in cell culture and animal models.
Supplied as a powder for laboratory use, each batch is analyzed by HPLC to confirm purity and identity.
For laboratory research use only. Not for human or veterinary use, and not intended for diagnostic or therapeutic application.
