5-Amino-1MQ

What is 5-Amino-1MQ?

5-Amino-1MQ (5-amino-1-methylquinolinium) is a small molecule, not a peptide. It is studied as an inhibitor of the enzyme nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT) in metabolic research. It is supplied as the iodide salt, an orange lyophilized powder, for in vitro and preclinical laboratory research only.

How 5-Amino-1MQ is tested

A good 5-Amino-1MQ listing comes with a lab report for the exact lot in the vial. These are the results to look for:

• Purity (HPLC)

  How much of the sample is the compound

• Identity (MS or LCMS)

  Confirms it is the right molecule

• Net content

  The real mg in the vial versus the label

• Endotoxin (LAL)

  Bacterial residue, reported in EU

• Sterility

  Confirms nothing is growing in the vial

• Heavy metals (ICP-MS)

  Arsenic, cadmium, lead and mercury

Storage and handling

Lyophilized 5-Amino-1MQ is stable at room temperature while it ships. For long term storage keep vials at minus 20 °C. Once reconstituted for laboratory use, store at 2 to 8 °C and use within 30 days.

5-Amino-1MQ vs MOTS-c

5-Amino-1MQ is a small molecule enzyme inhibitor. MOTS-c is a 16 amino acid peptide encoded in mitochondrial DNA. Both are studied in metabolic research and both are sold here.
