Research interest
Why researchers are interested
Brief notes on why 5-Amino-1MQ appears in laboratory study designs. Research use only — not for human or veterinary use.

- Common research areas include NAD-salvage pathway assays and methyltransferase panels.
- Of interest in studies that compare NNMT tool compounds with NAD+ cofactor stocks.
What is 5-Amino-1MQ in research?
5-Amino-1MQ (5-amino-1-methylquinolinium) is a small-molecule quinolinium cation studied as a membrane-permeable inhibitor of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT). It is not a peptide: there is no amino-acid backbone. Laboratories use it as a chemical tool so NNMT activity, nicotinamide methylation, and related NAD-salvage pathway readouts can be examined under controlled bench conditions.
Commercial research lots are commonly the iodide salt. Public identity anchors include CAS 42464-96-0, PubChem CID 66522933, molecular formula C10H11IN2, and a formula weight of 286.11 g/mol for that salt. Elevate Precision Health supplies 5-Amino-1MQ strictly for research use. Keep lot numbers linked to any identity or purity notes archived with the study folder.
Typical laboratory applications
Investigators use 5-Amino-1MQ-class quinolinium compounds in recombinant NNMT enzyme assays, cellular 1-methylnicotinamide (1-MNA) readouts, and pathway panels that track NAD+ salvage versus nicotinamide methylation. It also appears in method-development work (HPLC/LC-MS identity, reconstitution, light protection) because small cationic heteroaromatics can adsorb to plasticware and photodegrade differently from lyophilized peptides.
Record solvent, aliquot temperature, and freeze–thaw counts so NNMT-inhibition datasets remain comparable across operators. Protect dry stocks from moisture and strong light; document salt form whenever molarity is calculated from vial fill mass on the research bench.
