5-Amino-1MQ: a research overview

5-Amino-1MQ is a small molecule — not a peptide — studied in metabolic research. This overview covers what it is and how it is handled, with no therapeutic or dosing claims.

What it is

5-Amino-1MQ is a small-molecule compound studied as an inhibitor of NNMT (nicotinamide N-methyltransferase), an enzyme of interest in metabolic research. Because it is not a peptide, its handling differs slightly from the lyophilised peptides elsewhere in the catalog.

Why it is studied

5-Amino-1MQ appears in preclinical and in-vitro metabolic literature as a research tool probing the NNMT pathway. The findings belong to those studies; nothing here is a statement about human effects.

Handling notes

  • Follow the solvent guidance appropriate to a small molecule rather than assuming water.
  • Keep the solid sealed, cool and dark.
  • Record concentration and solvent for reproducibility.
