5-AMINO-1MQ (NNMT Inhibitor) – 5mg-50mg

5-AMINO-1MQ (NNMT Inhibitor)

5-AMINO-1MQ (5-Amino-1-methylquinolinium) is a high-purity synthetic small molecule that functions as a potent and selective inhibitor of the enzyme Nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT). In the landscape of advanced metabolic research and anti-aging science, 5-AMINO-1MQ is distinguished by its ability to modulate the cellular methyl-donor balance. NNMT is primarily expressed in adipose and liver tissues, where it plays a critical role in energy metabolism by consuming methyl groups and nicotinamide. By inhibiting NNMT, 5-AMINO-1MQ triggers a systemic increase in intracellular NAD+ levels and activates the SIRT1 (Sirtuin 1) longevity pathway. It provides researchers with a high-precision experimental tool to investigate the reversal of metabolic dysfunction, the enhancement of mitochondrial biogenesis, and the promotion of muscle fiber regeneration in complex aging and obesity research models.

Our 5-AMINO-1MQ is synthesized in an ISO 9001:2015 certified environment utilizing advanced organic synthesis and high-resolution purification techniques. We achieve an ultra-high chemical purity of ≥99%, verified by HPLC and Mass Spectrometry (MS). This rigorous production standard ensures the compound is free from heavy metals and residual synthesis reagents, guaranteeing the consistency and structural fidelity required for high-stakes metabolic signaling and muscle physiology assays.

High-Precision Small Molecule Verification

Every batch undergoes strict HPLC analysis to confirm a minimum purity of 99%, ensuring that metabolic assays are free from artifacts caused by impurities or unintended enzyme interactions.

Reconstitution & Storage

Reconstitution Guide

• Preparation: Allow the vial to reach room temperature. Centrifuge for 30-60 seconds to ensure the 5-AMINO-1MQ cake is at the base.

• Solvent: Reconstitute with DMSO (for maximum stability) or Sterile Water.

• Technique: Gently introduce the diluent against the vial wall. DO NOT SHAKE; swirl gently until the solution is clear and transparent.

Storage Protocols

• Long-term: Store at -20°C (Maintains potency for up to 24 months).

• Short-term: Stable at 2–8°C for up to 3 months.

• Post-Reconstitution: Store at 2–8°C and utilize within 7-10 days for optimal research results.
