5-AMINO-1MQ (Lyophilised)

5-AMINO-1MQ – 10mg (Lyophilised)

Product & Research Profile
5-Amino-1MQ, or 5-amino-1-methylquinolinium, is a synthetic small-molecule research compound investigated as an inhibitor of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT). Unlike many products in this range, 5-Amino-1MQ is not a peptide.

NNMT is an intracellular enzyme involved in nicotinamide metabolism, where it catalyses transfer of a methyl group from S-adenosyl-L-methionine to nicotinamide. Because this reaction intersects with both nicotinamide/NAD+ metabolism and cellular methyl-donor pathways, NNMT provides a useful molecular target for biochemical and metabolic research.

5-Amino-1MQ is therefore of particular interest in controlled laboratory studies examining NNMT enzyme activity, nicotinamide metabolism, NAD+ salvage pathways, methylation biochemistry, cellular energy regulation and the downstream effects of selective enzyme inhibition.

Its defined quinolinium-based structure also makes it suitable for enzyme-inhibition assays, structure–activity studies, analytical characterisation and comparative research involving other NNMT-modulating compounds.

Supplied as a lyophilised research material in sealed laboratory vials, 5-Amino-1MQ is available in a 10mg quantity for research and analytical applications.
