5-Amino-1MQ

5-Amino-1MQ

5-Amino-1MQ is a small molecule that inhibits the enzyme Nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), which prevents the enzyme NAMPT from converting NAM into NMN, a critical precursor to NAD+; lowering levels of cellular NAD+. By inhibiting this conversion process, 5-Amino-1MQ has shown to increase cellular NAD+ levels.

5-Amino-1MQ – Research Compound

5-Amino-1MQ is a small molecule that blocks the enzyme Nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT). This enzyme changes the NAD+ salvage pathway by adding a methyl group to nicotinamide, a form of vitamin B3. When NNMT interferes, the enzyme NAMPT cannot turn nicotinamide into NMN, which is needed to create NAD+. Because NAD+ drives cell energy, this shift directly affects how the body uses fuel. Researchers study this compound to better understand metabolism. Studies show it can raise energy use and increase fat breakdown in animals. Scientists also examine how it affects fat cell growth, lipolysis, and age-related changes tied to. By blocking this pathway, it raises NAD+ levels, supports enzymes like sirtuins, and changes how cells manage energy. Scientists store 5-Amino-1MQ in a cool, dry place away from light. They follow lab safety rules whenever they handle it. It is not a food, drug, or cosmetic, and no person or animal should consume it. This compound comes in powder form with purity above 98.5%. Researchers use it only for lab work, including in-vitro and early-stage studies. With it, they gain a reliable tool to explore metabolism, NNMT activity, and energy balance.

What quality testing do you provide?

Every peptide batch includes a Certificate of Analysis from SafeCert Labs, an independent CLIA certified facility. All chemical analysis is performed using HPLC with UV Detection coupled with Mass Spectrometry.

We’re the only research peptide supplier offering independent third-party testing by three different certified labs. Our testing protocols verify molecular identity, CAS number confirmation, purity levels (98%+ or 99%+), and appearance specifications.

All COAs are available before purchase so you can verify quality standards for your research applications.

Each COA displays the assession number, received date, reported date, and your specific product information (CAS number, quantity, identity, purity percentage, and appearance).

You’ll see two graphs: the HPLC chromatogram showing the purity peak, and the mass spectrometry data confirming molecular weight and identity. The specification table provides the result summary with exact purity percentage.

Every COA includes the testing lab’s principle chemist signature and the testing methodology used. Product photos show the actual vial appearance and labeling for verification.

Research applications typically require 95-99%+ purity for reliable results. Lower purity can introduce variables that interfere with in vitro studies and compromise data integrity.

Our 99%+ purity variants meet pharmaceutical-grade standards. Higher purity reduces experimental noise and gives you cleaner baseline data for your research protocols.

Store lyophilized peptides at -20°C in their original sealed vials. Keep them away from light and humidity.

Under these conditions, our research-grade peptides maintain stability for 3-5 years. The sealed environment with desiccant protection preserves molecular integrity for long-term laboratory use.

Reconstituted solutions remain stable for several days at 2-8°C. For longer storage, create small aliquots and freeze at -20°C or -80°C.

Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Use sterile bacteriostatic water and aseptic technique when preparing solutions for multiple-use research applications.

Most in-stock peptides ship the same day on orders placed before 12 PM PT. Domestic US orders arrive in 3-5 business days via standard shipping, or 1-2 days expedited.

We ship lyophilized peptides at ambient temperature in protective packaging. Free shipping on orders over $400.
