Research Background
5-Amino-1-methylquinolinium (5-Amino-1MQ) is a selective, membrane-permeable small-molecule inhibitor of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), an enzyme involved in cellular methylation and NAD+ salvage pathways. Unlike the peptides in this catalog, it is a small heterocyclic cation rather than an amino acid chain.
It is used in vitro to study NNMT inhibition and its downstream effects on S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) availability and NAD+ biosynthesis. Its defined selectivity profile makes it a practical tool compound for in vitro enzymology and epigenetic mechanism research. Researchers should consult primary literature directly.
Handling & Storage
Store sealed in a cool, dry environment, protected from light. For long-term storage, -20°C is preferred. Minimize exposure to moisture when handling.
Purity & Testing
Every batch is independently analyzed by a third-party laboratory before release. Purity data are reported on the batch Certificate of Analysis. Certificates of Analysis are published for each batch and are available prior to purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is 5-Amino-1MQ a peptide?
No. It is a small-molecule quinolinium compound, not an amino acid chain.
What is NNMT?
Nicotinamide N-methyltransferase, an enzyme that transfers a methyl group from S-adenosylmethionine to nicotinamide.
What salt form is supplied?
The salt form is stated on the batch Certificate of Analysis.
Does it require refrigeration during shipping?
No. The lyophilized powder is stable at ambient temperature for the duration of standard transit. Store at 2–8°C on receipt.
What size is available?
50mg vials.
