5-Amino-1MQ: Premium Research Grade Metabolic Small Molecule

5-Amino-1MQ is a research compound studied in models involving NNMT pathway activity, metabolic signaling, adipocyte biology, NAD+-related pathway research, energy-balance models, and body-composition research.

Disguised Alpha 5-Amino-1MQ is made for researchers who expect more than a generic small-molecule listing. Each batch is reviewed through our internal quality assurance process, supported by third-party analytical testing, and fulfilled directly by our in-house team.

Product Appearance Notice

5-Amino-1MQ may arrive as a red or reddish-colored powder. This is completely normal for this product and does not indicate damage, contamination, or reduced quality. Researchers should evaluate the product based on batch documentation, identity verification, and proper laboratory handling rather than powder color alone.

NNMT Pathway Research

Studied in models involving NNMT activity, NAD+-related biology, and metabolic pathway regulation.

Third-Party Tested

Batch documentation is reviewed for identity, purity, and analytical verification before release.

In-House QA

We do not use a 3PL. Orders are inspected, packed, and shipped directly by our internal team.

Why 5-Amino-1MQ Matters in Research

5-Amino-1MQ is studied for its relationship to NNMT pathway activity and metabolic signaling. NNMT-related research is relevant to models involving adipocyte biology, NAD+-associated pathways, methylation-linked metabolism, and cellular energy regulation.

Its research profile makes it especially relevant for studies focused on body-composition pathway models, energy balance, metabolic flexibility, adipose tissue biology, and NAD+-adjacent cellular signaling.

  • Studied in NNMT pathway research
  • Relevant to NAD+-associated and metabolic signaling models
  • Used in adipocyte biology and body-composition pathway studies
  • Studied in energy-balance and metabolic flexibility research
  • Red or reddish powder appearance is normal for this product

Why Our Testing Process Is Different

Many companies claim “third-party tested,” but testing only matters when the laboratories are credible and the results are actually reviewed. Disguised Alpha personally vetted the laboratory partners we work with before building those relationships.

Our testing process is part of a larger quality-control system that includes supplier accountability, batch-level review, internal QA, professional storage, and in-house fulfillment.

  • Third-party analytical verification
  • ISO-accredited laboratory partners
  • Identity and purity documentation review
  • Internal batch approval before release
  • Direct oversight from intake to final shipment

The Disguised Alpha Standard

Disguised Alpha is built around direct accountability. Every order is processed, inspected, packaged, and shipped by our in-house team instead of being passed off to a third-party logistics warehouse.

This gives us tighter control over fulfillment accuracy, packaging quality, storage standards, and customer experience. Our goal is not to be the cheapest research supplier. It is to provide clean, professionally handled compounds with real quality oversight behind them.

Research Use Disclaimer: This product is sold strictly for laboratory research purposes only. It is not intended for human consumption, medical use, diagnostic use, therapeutic use, weight-loss use, metabolic treatment use, wellness use, or the treatment, prevention, or diagnosis of any disease. Researchers are responsible for ensuring proper handling, storage, and compliance with all applicable regulations.

Questions about 5-Amino-1MQ

Is 5-Amino-1MQ a peptide?

No. 5-Amino-1MQ, also written 5-AMQ or 5MQ in papers, is 5-amino-1-methylquinolinium, a small quinolinium cation, C₁₀H₁₁N₂⁺ at 159.21 g/mol as this page lists, with no amino acids or peptide bonds. The "amino" is the NH₂ group at position 5 of its quinoline ring, and "1MQ" stands for 1-methylquinolinium, with a methyl group on the positively charged ring nitrogen.

Where did 5-Amino-1MQ come from?

A University of Texas Medical Branch group's search for nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT) inhibitors: its 2017 structure-activity study identified N-methylated quinoliniums that inhibited NNMT near 1 micromolar, and its 2018 follow-up took 5-amino-1-methylquinolinium into selectivity, cell and mouse work. Independent groups have since used it as an NNMT inhibitor in human cancer cell lines and mouse tumor models.

How is 5-Amino-1MQ different from MOTS-c?

In class and target. 5-Amino-1MQ is a small-molecule inhibitor of the enzyme nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), while MOTS-c is a 16-amino-acid peptide encoded in mitochondrial DNA whose discovery paper reported action through the folate cycle and AMPK activation; a PubMed search on 14 October 2026 found no record naming both. See our MOTS-c vs 5-Amino-1MQ comparison.

Where can I buy 5-Amino-1MQ for research?

Disguised Alpha offers 5-Amino-1MQ here for laboratory research only, in 10MG and 50MG as powder lyophilized in the USA. Each published lot's certificate of analysis appears on this page under the lab that tested it, ILS Laboratories or Chromate. Orders ship from Irvine, California, with tracked delivery on every order.

Batch documentation for 5-Amino-1MQ

Match the selected product option and assigned shipping lot to the corresponding report in the COA portal. Check the compound or components, sample identification, test date, methods and results actually reported. Results for another lot or formulation are not a substitute.

Does a purity percentage state the amount in the container?

No. Analytical purity and measured content are different measurements. Compare labeled quantity with measured content only where the report provides a compatible result and unit.

Read the 5-Amino-1MQ research reference. For batch documentation or formulation questions, contact Disguised Alpha.
