Description
For Research Use Only – Not for Human or Animal Consumption
5-Amino-1MQ is a small-molecule compound studied in preclinical research as a selective inhibitor of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), an enzyme involved in cellular NAD⁺ metabolism. It is not a peptide.
NNMT catalyses the methylation of nicotinamide. Published studies examine this enzyme inhibition for its effect on intracellular NAD⁺ availability. As a result, researchers frequently use the compound as a research tool in NAD⁺ pathway studies rather than as a substitute for NAD⁺ itself.
Published in vitro and animal-model research has examined NNMT inhibition in connection with several areas of scientific interest, including adipocyte metabolism, NAD⁺ pathway regulation, mitochondrial function, and cellular energy signalling. Researchers have also studied this mechanism in relation to muscle-tissue models and general markers of cellular aging.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is 5-Amino-1MQ a peptide?
No. 5-Amino-1MQ is a small molecule (molecular weight 177 g/mol), not a peptide. Instead, it is a selective NNMT enzyme inhibitor that differs chemically from amino-acid-chain compounds.
What is NNMT, and why is it studied?
In short, NNMT (nicotinamide N-methyltransferase) is an enzyme that methylates nicotinamide, a precursor in NAD⁺ metabolism. By contrast, 5-Amino-1MQ works upstream by inhibiting the NNMT enzyme, which researchers examine for its role in regulating intracellular NAD⁺ levels rather than supplying NAD⁺ directly.
What is the difference between 5-Amino-1MQ and NAD+ supplementation?
NAD+ is the coenzyme itself, typically studied as a direct research compound. 5-Amino-1MQ works upstream by inhibiting the NNMT enzyme, which is examined for its role in regulating intracellular NAD⁺ levels rather than supplying NAD⁺ directly. Researchers studying the NAD⁺ pathway sometimes examine both compounds for comparative purposes.
What is the purity, and is a Certificate of Analysis included?
In practice, An independent laboratory verifies each batch to ≥99% purity through HPLC and mass spectrometry, and we manufacture under cGMP conditions in Dallas, Texas. Moreover, we include a batch-specific Certificate of Analysis with every order.
How should 5-Amino-1MQ be stored and reconstituted?
First, store the vial refrigerated at 2–8°C, protected from light and heat. Store the vial refrigerated at 2–8°C, protected from light and heat. Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water; once reconstituted, the material has a shorter storage window than the lyophilized powder.
