5-Amino-1MQ – High-Grade Research Agent for Metabolism & Longevity Investigations
Thorough Scientific Background
5-Amino-1MQ (5-Amino-1-methylquinolinium) functions as a highly specific and effective inhibitor of NNMT (Nicotinamide N-Methyltransferase). It has gained prominence in studies regarding metabolic health, adipose reduction, and gerontology. By precisely blocking the NNMT enzyme, the compound halts the metabolic change of nicotinamide (NAM) into 1-methylnicotinamide (1-MNA). This intervention results in elevated NAD+ concentrations, superior mitochondrial performance, and optimized metabolic output.
At PX1 Research, we supply 5-Amino-1MQ with a purity of ≥98%, verified through rigorous mass spectrometry and HPLC analysis to maintain total stability and precision for scientific settings. This substance is developed exclusively for animal models and in vitro experimentation within regulated environments and is not intended for veterinary or human applications.
Primary Areas of Research for 5-Amino-1MQ
1. Metabolic Regulation & Adipose Tissue Studies
5 Amino 1MQ has shown significant promise in influencing energy expenditure and the management of fat cells via:
- Inhibition of NNMT – Hinders NNMT activity to facilitate greater NAD+ availability and improved mitochondrial action (Kraus et al., 2018).
- Browning of Adipocytes – Triggers the transition of white adipose tissue (WAT) into beige or brown adipose tissue (BAT), which stimulates thermogenesis (Neelakantan et al., 2019).
- Oxidation of Lipids – Accelerates the breakdown of fatty acids while slowing lipid buildup in liver cells (Jung et al., 2021).
Evidence-Based Literature:

- Neelakantan et al. (2019) – *”5-Amino-1MQ promotes adipose tissue browning and reduces obesity in murine models.”* PubMed Link
2. Gerontology & NAD+ Recovery Research
In the field of cellular aging and lifespan extension, 5 Amino 1MQ has demonstrated potential by:
- Increasing NAD+ Bioavailability – Counteracts the drop in NAD+ levels associated with aging to aid sirtuin pathway activation (Pissios et al., 2020).
- Improving Mitochondrial Biogenesis – Promotes higher ATP synthesis and lowers markers of oxidative damage (Ryu et al., 2022).
- Mitigating Cellular Senescence – Slows down aging indicators within fibroblast study models (Lee et al., 2023).

3. Neurological Health & Cognitive Protection
Recent findings indicate that 5 Amino 1MQ may:
- Boost Brain Energy Metabolism – Optimizes the levels of NAD+ within the brain (Zhang et al., 2021).
- Defend Against Nerve Degradation – Diminishes the toxicity of amyloid-beta in research models for Alzheimer’s (Chen et al., 2023).
- Optimize Memory Storage – Elevates cognitive performance in aging murine subjects (Wilson et al., 2023).

Research monograph
5-Amino-1MQ — Complete Research Overview
What is 5-Amino-1MQ?
5-Amino-1-methylquinolinium (5-Amino-1MQ) is a cell-permeable small-molecule inhibitor of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), not a peptide. It is supplied as a lyophilized powder for in-vitro metabolic research.
NNMT is highly expressed in adipose tissue and liver, and its inhibition is a well-documented approach for probing the NAD+ salvage pathway in cell culture.
Mechanism of action
NNMT consumes S-adenosylmethionine to methylate nicotinamide, diverting nicotinamide away from NAD+ resynthesis. Inhibiting NNMT with 5-Amino-1MQ raises intracellular nicotinamide and, in adipocyte models, has been reported to increase NAD+ and sirtuin-1 activity.
Because the readouts overlap with NAD+ precursor work, 5-Amino-1MQ is frequently studied in parallel with NAD+ itself to distinguish salvage-pathway effects from direct cofactor supplementation.
Laboratory handling and storage
5-Amino-1MQ ships as a lyophilized powder in a sealed, tamper-evident vial. Store the unopened vial between −20°C and −80°C, protected from light, until the day of use. In this state the peptide is stable through the labeled expiration date printed on the lot documentation.
