5-Amino-1MQ (Research Grade)

5-Amino-1MQ is a small-molecule inhibitor of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT). Blocking NNMT preserves the intracellular nicotinamide pool feeding NAD+ salvage, which is why it appears throughout adipocyte metabolism research.

5-Amino-1MQ specifications

Reference data researchers look up before ordering 5-amino-1mq. Every lot ships with documentation matching the batch number printed on the vial.

  • Class: small-molecule NNMT inhibitor
  • Pathway: nicotinamide / NAD+ salvage
  • Formats: vial and oral capsule
  • Storage: -20°C

5-Amino-1MQ purity testing and certificate of analysis

Each 5-amino-1mq lot is released only after an independent purity panel. HPLC quantifies purity, LC-MS confirms molecular identity, and the lot-matched certificate is published so the number on your vial matches the report you download.

  • ≥99% HPLC purity specification
  • LC-MS mass confirmation on every batch
  • Endotoxin and sterility panel documentation
  • Lot-matched 5-amino-1mq COA published on the certifications page

5-Amino-1MQ reconstitution and BAC water ratios

5-Amino-1MQ ships lyophilized. Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol. The ratios below assume a standard U-100 insulin syringe.

  • 5mg vial + 2mL BAC water = 2.5mg per mL
  • Capsule format requires no reconstitution
  • Solubility is lower than peptides — swirl until fully clear
  • Refrigerate reconstituted solution

Where to buy 5-amino-1mq

PX1 Research synthesizes and fills 5-amino-1mq in a US cGMP-compliant facility rather than reselling imported material, so purity documentation traces back to the production lot. Multi-vial pricing steps down at 3, 5 and 10 vials, and subscription intervals are available on the product page.

Frequently asked questions

What enzyme does 5-Amino-1MQ inhibit?

Nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), which methylates and removes nicotinamide from the NAD+ salvage pathway.

Is 5-Amino-1MQ a peptide?

No — it is a small molecule, which is why an oral capsule format is viable.

Is a certificate of analysis provided with 5-amino-1mq?

Yes. Every 5-amino-1mq lot has a published, lot-matched COA showing HPLC purity and LC-MS identity confirmation.

How should 5-amino-1mq be stored?

Store the lyophilized vial at -20°C protected from light. Once reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, keep it refrigerated at 2–8°C.
