Selective inhibitor of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT) studied for effects on cellular metabolism, lipid storage, and adipose tissue biology in research models.
5-Amino-1MQ (5-amino-1-methylquinolinium) is a small-molecule research compound (not a peptide) that acts as an inhibitor of the enzyme nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT). NNMT is studied as a regulator of cellular NAD+/methyl-donor balance, with downstream implications for adipocyte function and metabolic flexibility. Quantum Labs supplies 5-Amino-1MQ for Australian research applications.
Research on NNMT inhibition has expanded substantially over the past decade as the enzyme's role in metabolism has been characterised. 5-Amino-1MQ is one of the most studied selective NNMT inhibitors and is used as a research tool to probe NNMT-dependent pathways. Material is HPLC-verified and ships from Australian stock; supplied for laboratory research use only.
Research Mechanism
Research suggests inhibition of NNMT raises cellular NAD+ and SAM availability, with downstream effects on metabolic and adipogenic markers in study subjects.
HPLC verified against a ≥99% purity specification. Independently tested by accredited third-party laboratories.
5-Amino-1MQ — frequently asked questions
What is 5-Amino-1MQ?
5-Amino-1MQ is a small-molecule selective inhibitor of the enzyme nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT). It is used as a research tool in metabolic research to probe NNMT-dependent pathways.
Is 5-Amino-1MQ a peptide?
No — 5-Amino-1MQ is a small-molecule compound, not a peptide. It is grouped with research peptides because the customer base and research applications often overlap.
What is NNMT?
Nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT) is an enzyme that methylates nicotinamide using S-adenosyl methionine as the methyl donor. Elevated NNMT activity has been associated with adipocyte dysfunction and reduced metabolic flexibility in research models.
Is 5-Amino-1MQ legal in Australia?
5-Amino-1MQ is a research compound available for laboratory use in Australia. It is not an approved therapeutic and not for human consumption. Quantum Labs supplies it for research use only.
