Compound Overview

5-Amino-1-methylquinolinium (5-Amino-1MQ) is a small-molecule quaternary ammonium salt studied in laboratory settings as a selective inhibitor of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), a cytoplasmic enzyme involved in methyl-donor and NAD+ metabolism, particularly in adipose tissue.

Product Specifications

  • CAS Number: 42464-96-0 (5-amino-1-methylquinolinium iodide)
  • Molecular Formula: C₁₀H₁₁IN₂
  • Format: 50 mg per capsule
  • Count: 60 capsules per bottle

Quality Verification

Each bottle includes a scannable QR code linking to the batch-specific Certificate of Analysis (COA), showing third-party HPLC purity testing and identity confirmation for that lot.

Storage Instructions

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct light and moisture. For long-term stability, refrigeration or freezer storage (≤ -20°C) is recommended, consistent with standard handling for this compound class. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use.

Research Background

In diet-induced obese mouse models, NNMT inhibition via 5-Amino-1MQ has been reported to raise intracellular NAD+ and SAM levels, suppress fat-cell lipogenesis, and reduce body weight and fat mass. All evidence to date comes from in vitro and animal studies — no peer-reviewed human trials have been published as of mid-2026.

Intended Use

Sold strictly for laboratory and research purposes. Not intended for diagnostic, therapeutic, or human/veterinary use.
