5-Amino-1MQ is a selective, membrane-permeable inhibitor of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), supplied as a lyophilized powder for in vitro laboratory research use only. It is studied in the peer-reviewed literature as a chemical probe of the NNMT/NAD+ salvage axis, and is investigated in research models for its role in adipocyte metabolic signaling and cellular energy homeostasis pathways.

Product Description

  • 1-methylquinolinium derivative carrying a 5-amino substitution; a small molecule, not a peptide
  • Characterized in the literature as a cell-permeable inhibitor of NNMT (nicotinamide N-methyltransferase)
  • Investigated for its relationship to the NAD+ salvage pathway and cellular methylation balance
  • Studied in preclinical adipocyte and skeletal-muscle metabolic models
  • Frequently referenced in the metabolic and NAD+ research literature

Research Use Notes

  • Supplied as lyophilized powder in a sealed vial
  • Requires reconstitution before use; Amino H2O sold separately
  • Appearance: white to off-white lyophilized powder or cake
  • Identity and purity verified by third-party COA

Storage & Handling

  • Store the sealed lyophilized vial frozen (-20C) and protected from light
  • Keep refrigerated (2-8C) once reconstituted
  • Reconstituted material has a limited stability window; handle per your laboratory's SOP
