5-Amino-1MQ: research overview
5-Amino-1MQ is a small molecule, not a peptide, studied as an inhibitor of the enzyme NNMT (nicotinamide N-methyltransferase). It is grouped with the metabolic research compounds for its links to fat-cell metabolism and NAD-related pathways.
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.
