Lyophilized research material
5-Amino-1MQ is a research compound studied in NNMT pathway and metabolic signaling models. Its chemical name is 5-amino-1-methylquinolinium, and it is also written 5A1MQ. It is a small molecule, not a peptide.
NNMT stands for nicotinamide N-methyltransferase. This enzyme moves a methyl group from SAM (S-adenosylmethionine) to nicotinamide. 5-Amino-1MQ inhibits this enzyme.
Disguised Alpha 5-Amino-1MQ is made for researchers who expect more than a generic listing. Each batch goes through our internal quality review. Third-party lab testing backs that review, and our own team ships every order.
Published work on 5-Amino-1MQ is enzyme, cell culture and rodent research. No human studies appear in PubMed. Topics include:
A 2018 study (Neelakantan et al.) tested it in mouse 3T3-L1 adipocytes. It lowered 1-methylnicotinamide, the product of the NNMT reaction, and raised NAD+ and SAM in those cells. The same paper also ran purified enzyme assays. At the highest concentrations tested, it did not meaningfully inhibit the related methyltransferases DNMT1, PRMT3 and COMT, or the NAD+ salvage enzymes NAMPT and SIRT1.

5-Amino-1MQ may arrive as a red or reddish powder. This is normal for this product. It does not mean damage, contamination or lower quality. Judge each batch by its records, its identity check and proper lab handling, not by color alone.
Primary research relevant to the named compound or clearly identified component is linked below. Experimental results depend on identity, model and formulation.
Investigated NNMT inhibitors including 5-amino-1MQ in metabolic models. Study findings depend on the tested compound, model and formulation.
Retain the product label and lot number with the research record. Review the matching certificate of analysis for test coverage and reported results. Identity, analytical purity, measured content, sterility and endotoxin testing are distinct assessments; one does not establish the others.
Follow the supplied label and your laboratory’s validated handling and storage procedures. Record the vehicle, concentration and preparation date where relevant. Dry-material stability does not establish the shelf life of a prepared solution.
The listed milligrams refer to material per vial, not concentration or administration instructions. A prepared solution has its own concentration and stability requirements. Verify the exact selected option and shipping lot.
Open the linked certificate for the assigned lot or use the COA portal. Check sample identity, methods, date and reported measurements. A report for another lot or formulation is not a substitute.
The references describe the materials and conditions used by their authors. They do not establish that this commercial formulation was tested. For blends, evidence on an individual component does not validate the finished mixture or establish synergy.
The current certificate is matched to the selected product option and assigned shipping batch.
