What is 5-Amino-1MQ?

5-Amino-1MQ is a small-molecule research compound rather than a peptide. It is studied as an inhibitor of NNMT, an enzyme active in fat cells, and its research links it to metabolism and to NAD-related pathways.

What research has explored

In preclinical research, 5-Amino-1MQ has been investigated for its interaction with NNMT and adipocyte (fat-cell) metabolism. These are laboratory findings, not established human outcomes; it is studied as a research material only.

Forms & handling in the lab

5-Amino-1MQ is a small molecule and is commonly supplied as a powder or capsule research format rather than a lyophilized peptide vial. When supplied as a powder for solution, it is prepared with an appropriate solvent per the research protocol.

Storage & stability

Lyophilized powder - most stable form; keep frozen or refrigerated and protected from light until reconstituted.
Reconstituted solution - refrigerate at roughly 2-8 °C; as a general research guideline, use within about 28 days.
Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles, heat, and shaking, which can degrade the compound.
