What is 5-Amino-1MQ, and how does it differ from a peptide?

5-Amino-1MQ is a small-molecule inhibitor of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), studied in the pre-clinical adipocyte and NAD+ salvage-pathway literature. Prescott Bio supplies it as a lyophilized 50mg vial (10 vials per kit). Every lot is independently assayed by HPLC (purity) and mass spectrometry (identity).

Read more about the mechanism

NNMT methylates nicotinamide and thereby diverts substrate away from the NAD+ salvage pathway. In the pre-clinical adipocyte and cellular-metabolism literature, NNMT inhibitors are studied for their effect on the intracellular NAD+ pool and on adipose-tissue methyl-group balance.

5-Amino-1MQ is a small molecule rather than a peptide, so its handling and reconstitution profile differ from the peptide catalog. Certificates of analysis are batch-specific and available on request via the /coa lookup. All product is sold strictly for laboratory research use only.

Questions Canadian labs ask before their first order

  • What is 5-Amino-1MQ?
    5-Amino-1MQ (5-amino-1-methylquinolinium) is a small-molecule inhibitor of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT). NNMT methylates nicotinamide and thereby diverts substrate away from the NAD+ salvage pathway; blocking NNMT is studied for its effect on intracellular NAD+ levels and on adipose-tissue methyl-group balance in pre-clinical models.
  • How does it relate to NAD+ research?
    5-Amino-1MQ acts upstream of NAD+ by inhibiting NNMT rather than supplementing the coenzyme directly. The pre-clinical rationale is that reducing nicotinamide methylation preserves substrate for the NAD+ salvage pathway. Researchers who study NAD+ dynamics sometimes pair the two approaches in the same study design; others compare them head-to-head.
  • How is 5-Amino-1MQ reconstituted?
    1. Wipe the vial stopper with an alcohol swab.
    2. Draw the target volume of diluent appropriate for the small-molecule stock (typically 1-2 mL).
    3. Inject the diluent slowly against the vial wall.
    4. Swirl gently to dissolve. Do NOT shake.
    5. Store the reconstituted vial at 2-8°C. Use within 30 days.
  • How is it stored?
    1. Refrigerate lyophilized vials at 2-8°C until first use.
    2. After reconstitution with bacteriostatic water, store at 2-8°C and use within 30 days.
    3. For storage beyond six months, freeze the sealed lyophilized vial at -20°C.
    4. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
  • How fast does Prescott Bio ship?
    Orders placed before 14:00 PT ship the same business day from our British Columbia facility. Canadian orders arrive 2-4 business days after dispatch.
  • Is the CoA a small-molecule HPLC + MS or a peptide-style assay? 5-Amino-1MQ isn't a peptide.
    Correct — 5-Amino-1MQ is a small molecule, not a peptide. The CoA runs small-molecule HPLC and MS confirmation against the expected structure. No peptide-specific sequencing applies.
