Description
All presented information is based on scientific publications which can be found at the end of product description below.
5-Amino-1-methylquinolinium (5-Amino-1MQ) inhibits nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), an enzyme regulating cellular metabolism and energy homeostasis, promoting a shift from energy storage toward expenditure. Research Highlights 1. NNMT Inhibition — Blocks methylation of nicotinamide, preserving methyl groups for epigenetic modifications.
2. Adipose Metabolism — Increases NAD+ and SAM in adipocytes, enhancing mitochondrial activity and reducing lipid accumulation without affecting food intake.
3. Obesity Research — Reduced body weight and fat mass in diet-induced obesity models while improving glucose tolerance.
4. Metabolic Reprogramming — Modulates NAD+ salvage pathway and methylation balance, potentially reversing pro-obesity gene expression.
5. Cancer — NNMT overexpression in several cancer types; inhibition shows anti-proliferative effects. References available upon request.

Frequently asked questions
- 5-Amino-1MQ (5-amino-1-methylquinolinium iodide) is a small-molecule inhibitor of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), not a peptide. Molecular weight ≈ 257-321 g/mol depending on counter-ion. Included in our catalog as a research tool for metabolism and adipocyte biology studies.
- Batch-level CoA information is available where applicable and focuses on purity testing and lot details.
- Store the lyophilised compound at -20 °C, protected from light and moisture. After laboratory preparation, follow standard small-molecule handling procedures; most NNMT inhibitor research uses fresh stock solutions for reproducibility.
- 5-Amino-1MQ is studied in adipocyte cultures, metabolic disease models, and obesity research. NNMT is implicated in energy expenditure regulation, and NNMT inhibitors are an active research area in metabolic biology.
- No. 5-Amino-1MQ is an experimental research compound supplied by Peptra Labs for laboratory research only. It must not be used as a human, veterinary, supplement, or cosmetic product.
