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.

Shipping termsResearch 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.

Consult batch certificates How to read documentationLaboratory 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.
