5 Amino 1MQ5 mg

What it is

5-Amino-1MQ (5-amino-1-methylquinolinium) is a small molecule, not a peptide. It is a membrane-permeable inhibitor of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), an enzyme concentrated in white adipose tissue and skeletal muscle. It appears in preclinical metabolic, adipose, and muscle-ageing research.

How it works

5-Amino-1MQ is a small-molecule inhibitor of the NNMT enzyme, researched in metabolism and body composition studies.

NNMT

Blocks the NNMT enzyme

5-Amino-1MQ inhibits nicotinamide N-methyltransferase, an enzyme linked to cellular energy regulation and fat storage.

NAD+

Spares the NAD+ pool

By inhibiting NNMT, the compound is studied for preserving nicotinamide, a precursor cells use to make NAD+.

Metabolic

Studied in fat tissue

Preclinical research reports reduced fat mass in diet-induced obesity models treated with NNMT inhibitors.

Key benefits

  • Lyophilized powder, reconstituted for repeatable preparation.
  • COA-verified identity and purity, batch by batch.
  • Research-use plans built around a compound-specific question.

Laboratory research only. Not for human or veterinary use.

What published research is studying

Preclinical research
  • Body weight, fat mass, and adipocyte size in diet-induced obese mice
  • Glucose tolerance, insulin sensitivity, and hepatic steatosis in rodent models
  • Muscle stem cell activity, grip strength, and regeneration in aged mice
  • NAD+ and methyl-donor metabolism in cultured adipocytes

All published efficacy data come from rodent and cell-culture studies. No completed human trial of 5-amino-1MQ has been published.

Key research findings and references

Key research findings

In diet-induced obese mice, small-molecule NNMT inhibitors reduced body weight, white adipose mass, adipocyte size, and plasma cholesterol, with no change in total food intake.

Neelakantan H et al., Biochem Pharmacol 2018

In 24-month-old mice, an NNMT inhibitor was associated with roughly 40% greater grip strength than sedentary controls, and roughly 60% when paired with exercise.

Dimet-Wiley AL et al., Sci Rep 2024

In aged mice after muscle injury, an NNMT inhibitor was reported to nearly double myofiber cross-sectional area and raise peak tibialis anterior torque by about 70% versus controls.

Neelakantan H et al., Biochem Pharmacol 2019

Published study duration

  • Diet-induced obesity study in mice: 28 days of dosing (Babula et al. 2024).
  • Aged-mouse muscle function study: dosing from 22 to 24 months of age (Dimet-Wiley et al. 2024).
  • Muscle regeneration study: 1 to 3 weeks of dosing after injury in 24-month-old mice (Neelakantan et al. 2019).

Research endpoints

  • Body weight and fat mass gain in rodents
  • White adipose mass and adipocyte size
  • Oral glucose tolerance and fasting insulin
  • Hepatic triglyceride content and transaminase levels
  • Grip strength, peak torque, and myofiber cross-sectional area

Research handling

Full handling guide
  1. 01

    Lyophilized, sealed, batch-numbered

    Each vial ships as a freeze-dried powder under an inert seal, tied to the batch on its Certificate of Analysis.

  2. 02

    Store cold and dark

    Unopened vials are kept refrigerated at 2-8°C away from light. Reconstituted material is stored refrigerated and used within the window the research plan defines.

  3. 03

    Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water

    The included bacteriostatic water is added slowly down the vial wall and the vial is swirled, never shaken.

  4. 04

    Research use only

    Supplied for laboratory research. Not for human or veterinary use. Handle with the personal protective equipment the laboratory requires.

Before you order

What ships in the box?

The vials selected, plus a free supply kit with every vial: one 3 ml bacteriostatic water, ten 0.5 ml syringes and ten alcohol swabs per vial, and the uu.life research handling card.

How does volume pricing work?

The price per vial depends on how many vials of the same strength are on the line. 3-4 vials take 5% off, 5 or more take 10% off. The discount is applied automatically and shows on the product page, in the cart and at checkout.

Is every batch tested?

Yes. Every batch is tested by an independent laboratory for identity and purity, and the Certificate of Analysis is linked from this page and the lab-testing library.

How fast is delivery?

Orders are typically dispatched within 1-2 business days and arrive across most of Europe in 3-5 business days, tracked, in discreet packaging. Orders over €250 ship free, and Shipping Protection can be added at checkout.

Is this for human use?

No. Every product is sold for laboratory research only and is not for human or veterinary use.
