5-Amino-1MQ is a small-molecule research compound studied as an inhibitor of the enzyme NNMT, with particular interest in adipocyte and metabolic research.

What is 5-Amino-1MQ?

5-Amino-1MQ is a small molecule — not a peptide — studied as an inhibitor of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), an enzyme involved in cellular metabolism. It is available in both lyophilized and tablet research forms.

Studied mechanisms (in-vitro and preclinical)

By inhibiting NNMT in research models, 5-Amino-1MQ is examined for downstream effects on the NAD+ salvage pathway and on fat-cell (adipocyte) metabolism. It is a common tool in metabolic and energy-balance research.

5-Amino-1MQ and related research compounds

It is often studied alongside metabolic tools such as AOD-9604 and NAD+, which approach cellular energy and fat metabolism from different angles.

Quality and Certificate of Analysis

Every batch is analyzed by an independent, ISO/IEC 17025-accredited laboratory and ships with its own Certificate of Analysis documenting identity and purity. The COA is batch-specific and available on the product page.

Storage and handling

5-Amino-1MQ ships lyophilized or as tablets. Store cold and out of light; if reconstituting, use bacteriostatic water and keep refrigerated.
