Description
5-Amino-1MQ is a small molecule NNMT (nicotinamide N-methyltransferase) inhibitor studied for its effects on cellular metabolism and energy regulation. This compound blocks the enzyme that converts NAD+ precursors into inactive metabolites.
Mechanism of Action
5-Amino-1MQ inhibits NNMT, an enzyme that methylates nicotinamide and depletes the NAD+ precursor pool. By blocking NNMT, the compound preserves cellular NAD+ levels and enhances energy expenditure in adipose tissue (Kraus et al., 2014).
Research Applications
- NAD+ metabolism and preservation (Kraus et al., 2014)
- NNMT enzyme inhibition studies
- Metabolic regulation research
- Cancer metabolism studies (Eckert et al., 2019)
Product Specifications
- Purity: ≥99% (HPLC verified)
- Molecular Weight: 173.21 Da

Verification
Storage & Handling
Storage
5-Amino-1MQ is supplied as a lyophilized powder. Keep it sealed, dry, and away from light until reconstitution.
Reconstitution
Let the vial reach room temperature before opening, then add solvent slowly down the vial wall — do not shake.
Stability
Lyophilized material is stable when frozen. Once reconstituted, keep it cold and minimise handling to preserve integrity.
