Enzyme inhibitor

5-Amino-1MQ

5-Amino-1MQ is a small, non-peptide quinolinium molecule with an amino group at position 5 and methylation at the ring nitrogen. In preclinical models, it binds to the catalytic site of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase and inhibits that enzyme. It has been investigated in models of nicotinamide metabolism and cellular metabolic regulation in in vitro studies.

Research context & mechanism

NNMT transfers a methyl group from S-adenosylmethionine to nicotinamide. Its inhibition modulates nicotinamide availability in the dinucleotide salvage pathway in cellular models.

Laboratory handling

Reconstitution
Laboratory procedure: allow the closed vial to reach room temperature, disinfect the septum and slowly transfer the diluent against the inner wall of the vial. Do not shake; gently swirl the vial until fully dissolved. Record the volume, diluent and date in the batch log.
Storage
Sealed vial of lyophilized material: store at −20 °C, protected from light and moisture. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles of reconstituted material; aliquot when the experimental design permits.
Protective equipment
Handle in a clean work area with a lab coat, nitrile gloves and eye protection. Dispose of vials, tips and sharps according to the laboratory waste procedure.
