5-Amino-1MQ 50mg Research Compound Vial

5-Amino-1MQ 50mg: An NNMT Inhibitor for Metabolic Research

5-Amino-1MQ is not a peptide. It's a small molecule. The full name is 5-amino-1-methylquinolinium. It blocks an enzyme called NNMT.

Research use only. Just for labs. Not for people. Not for animals.

Quick Facts

Name: 5-Amino-1MQ
Type: Methylquinolinium derivative
Formula: C10H11N2+ (varies by salt form used)
Weight: about 159 to 176 g/mol, depending on form
CAS number: 42464-96-0
Look: Off white to pale yellow crystalline powder

What It Does

NNMT is an enzyme. It sits mostly in fat tissue. It uses up nicotinamide, a form of vitamin B3. That process pulls resources away from NAD+ production. 5-Amino-1MQ blocks NNMT. This shifts the balance back toward NAD+.

What Labs Study It For

Researchers use 5-Amino-1MQ to look at:

NNMT enzyme inhibition
NAD+ and SAM level changes
Fat cell metabolism, in animal models
Energy expenditure shifts
Muscle function in aging models

Some labs also pair 5-Amino-1MQ with BPC-157, especially when comparing metabolic compounds against tissue repair peptides in broader research panels.

Regulatory Status

The FDA hasn't approved 5-Amino-1MQ for any use. It's sold strictly as a research compound.

Legal and Safety Info

Not a supplement. Just a raw research chemical. Keep it away from kids. Long term safety data is limited, so only trained lab personnel should handle this.

Buying this means agreeing to use it legally, for research only.
