Product Overview

5-Amino-1MQ is a small-molecule NNMT (Nicotinamide N-Methyltransferase) inhibitor studied in metabolic research models for its potential influence on cellular energy regulation and adiposity pathways.

Research Applications

  • NNMT inhibition studies
  • NAD+ pathway modulation research
  • Adipocyte metabolism models
  • Body composition research
  • Metabolic flexibility investigations

Disclaimer: 5-Amino-1MQ is for research and experimental use only and is not FDA-approved for therapeutic use in this context.

Mechanism of Action (Research)

5-Amino-1MQ is studied for its ability to:

  • Inhibit NNMT enzyme activity
  • Influence nicotinamide metabolism
  • Affect NAD+ availability
  • Modify methylation balance in metabolic models
  • Alter adipocyte energy expenditure in preclinical studies

Observed effects are primarily derived from animal and in vitro research models.

Reconstitution Instructions (If Lyophilized)

Supplies

  • Sterile bacteriostatic water
  • Sterile syringe
  • Alcohol swabs

General Procedure

  1. Clean vial stopper with alcohol.
  2. Add bacteriostatic water to desired concentration.
  • Example: 50 mg vial + 5 mL → 10 mg/mL
  1. Swirl gently to dissolve (do not shake).
  2. Refrigerate at 2–8°C after reconstitution.
  3. Use within 2–4 weeks or per research protocol.
