5-Amino-1MQ
About 5-Amino-1MQ
5-Amino-1MQ, also known as 5-amino-1-methylquinolinium, is a metabolic research compound that functions as a nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT) inhibitor. This compound has garnered significant interest in metabolic research due to its unique mechanism of action and potential applications in energy metabolism studies. The primary mechanism of 5-Amino-1MQ involves the inhibition of the NNMT enzyme, which plays a crucial role in regulating energy metabolism. By blocking NNMT activity, this compound increases the availability of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+), a vital coenzyme essential for cellular energy production. This enhancement of NAD+ levels supports improved mitochondrial function and energy expenditure in research models. Studies indicate that 5-Amino-1MQ may influence fat metabolism by altering the expression of genes involved in adipogenesis. Research has demonstrated several primary effects in laboratory settings, including increased NAD+ levels that enhance cellular energy metabolism, promotion of fat loss through modulation of adipogenesis, improved mitochondrial function, and potential reduction in markers of metabolic syndrome. The current evidence base for 5-Amino-1MQ is classified as grade C, with most research derived from animal studies and in vitro experiments. These investigations suggest potential benefits in metabolic regulation and fat loss mechanisms. However, it is important to note that there are currently no published human clinical trials specifically investigating this NNMT inhibitor compound, highlighting the need for further research to establish comprehensive safety profiles and confirm the effects observed in preliminary studies.
Mechanism
Inhibits Nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), leading to increased cellular NAD+ levels, enhanced fat metabolism, and reduced fat accumulation by promoting the activity of sirtuins.
Reported research findings
- Increases fat metabolism
- Reduces fat accumulation
- Enhances NAD+ levels
- Improves mitochondrial function
Why a single vial
Pilot and method work
A single vial covers assay development, method validation or a short pilot run without committing to a wholesale quantity of 5-Amino-1MQ.
UK held, fast turnaround
Vials ship from our UK facility on a tracked service, so a study is not waiting on an international consignment or a customs queue.
Same material as the box
Single vials are drawn from the same vetted manufacturing source as the factory-direct range, with the same batch documentation.
Predictable spend
Small laboratories and independent researchers can budget one vial at a time rather than a full minimum order quantity.
Storage and handling
Before reconstitution
Store the sealed lyophilised vial at 2 to 8°C, protected from light and moisture. Longer term storage at minus 20°C is common laboratory practice.
After reconstitution
Reconstituted solution is held refrigerated at 2 to 8°C and used within the window appropriate to the compound. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
Reconstitution
Bacteriostatic water is the usual diluent. Our reconstitution calculator works out the diluent volume for a given target concentration.
Documentation
Every vial carries a batch number for traceable laboratory records, and independent verification is encouraged.
See the reconstitution guide and the calculator.
FAQs
Can I order a single vial of 5-Amino-1MQ without a minimum order?+
Yes. The single-vial range exists precisely so a laboratory can take one vial of 5-Amino-1MQ rather than a full wholesale box. There is no minimum order quantity on this format.
How quickly does a 5-Amino-1MQ single vial ship in the UK?+
Single vials are held in our UK facility and dispatched within 24 hours of a cleared payment on working days, on a tracked UK service. Orders placed at the weekend go out on the next working day.
How does the single vial differ from the factory-direct box?+
The compound and the manufacturing source are the same. The factory-direct box is a wholesale multi-vial pack with a minimum order quantity and a lower per-vial cost, while the single vial is one vial from UK stock for small-scale or pilot work.
What purity is stated for 5-Amino-1MQ?+
99%+ manufacturer-stated purity. Buyers are encouraged to run independent third-party verification, and our testing directory lists laboratories that perform it.
Is this 5-Amino-1MQ vial for human use?+
No. Every PeptX product, including the single-vial range, is supplied strictly for laboratory research. It is not for human consumption, diagnosis, treatment or any clinical use.
What is 5-Amino-1MQ?+
5-Amino-1MQ (5-amino-1-methylquinolinium) is a metabolic research compound classified as an NNMT inhibitor. It works by blocking the nicotinamide N-methyltransferase enzyme, which plays a role in energy metabolism regulation in research models.
How does 5-Amino-1MQ work?+
5-Amino-1MQ functions by inhibiting the NNMT enzyme, which increases the availability of NAD+, a crucial coenzyme in cellular energy production. This mechanism enhances mitochondrial function and may influence fat metabolism by altering genes involved in adipogenesis in laboratory studies.
What is the half-life of 5-Amino-1MQ?+
The half-life of 5-Amino-1MQ has not been established in current research literature. Further pharmacokinetic studies are needed to determine this parameter for research applications.
How is 5-Amino-1MQ stored?+
Specific storage requirements for 5-Amino-1MQ have not been definitively established in research literature. Standard peptide storage protocols should be followed, typically involving refrigerated conditions and protection from light until specific guidelines are published.
