5-Amino-1MQ from Xcel Peptides

Xcel Peptides supplies 5-Amino-1MQ as a research-grade compound for laboratory use. We test every batch independently before release, and we publish the certificate of analysis on this page, matched to the batch number on your product.

What Is 5-Amino-1MQ

5-Amino-1MQ is a small molecule, not a peptide. Its chemical name is 5-amino-1-methylquinolinium. Researchers study it as an inhibitor of NNMT, short for nicotinamide N-methyltransferase, an enzyme that methylates nicotinamide into 1-methylnicotinamide (1-MNA). Blocking that step leaves more nicotinamide available for the NAD+ salvage pathway.

Specifications

The product is research grade. We verify every batch through third-party HPLC and identity analysis, and we document it with a matched COA. Store it sealed, in a cool, dry place, protected from light. We ship every order with tracking.

Research Applications

Researchers study 5-Amino-1MQ in enzyme inhibition and NAD+ metabolism research. Typical work examines how NNMT inhibition changes nicotinamide recycling and methyl-group balance in cell-based and preclinical models. Scientists also use it as a tool compound to compare NNMT inhibitors against other agents that act on NAD+ biosynthesis.

These describe research applications, not therapeutic claims. The FDA has not evaluated this product, and researchers should not use it to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any condition.

Why Buy 5-Amino-1MQ From Xcel Peptides

Suppliers list this compound under several salt forms and sizes, so labels often confuse buyers. Xcel Peptides states the form and strength on every listing and tests each batch to confirm identity, which keeps your enzyme assays tied to the right material.

We also publish results openly. You can compare the batch number on your package with the COA before you start work, instead of trusting a generic purity claim.

Storage and Handling

Keep 5-Amino-1MQ sealed, dry, and away from light and heat. Moisture and temperature swings degrade many small molecules over time, so return the container to storage promptly after each use. Record the batch number and opening date in your lab notes.

Verifying Your COA

Check three things on the COA before you use this product. First, confirm the batch number matches your package. Second, confirm the test date is recent. Third, confirm the HPLC purity and the identity result match the specification for your size. If you need archived data for a previous lot, contact our team and we’ll pull it for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is 5-Amino-1MQ? It’s a small-molecule NNMT inhibitor studied in NAD+ pathway research. Xcel Peptides supplies it as a research-grade compound.

Is 5-Amino-1MQ a peptide? No. It’s a quinolinium-based small molecule, not an amino acid chain.

What does NNMT inhibition mean in research? NNMT is an enzyme that methylates nicotinamide. Researchers study what happens to related metabolic pathways when that enzyme’s activity drops.

Does 5-Amino-1MQ come with a COA? Yes. Xcel Peptides ships every unit with a batch-matched certificate of analysis confirming identity and purity.

How should I store 5-Amino-1MQ? Keep it sealed in a cool, dry place, protected from light and moisture.

How fast does Xcel Peptides ship this product? We ship most orders within 1 to 2 business days, with tracking included.
