Mechanism
A substrate-site small-molecule inhibitor of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT; EC 2.1.1.1), the cytosolic enzyme that transfers a methyl group from S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) to nicotinamide, yielding 1-methylnicotinamide (1-MNA) and S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine. The cationic quinolinium ring occupies the nicotinamide substrate-binding pocket; selectivity profiling against related SAM-dependent methyltransferases and NAD+ salvage enzymes has been characterized in vitro.
Storage & handling
- Storage
- Store solid at -20°C, desiccated and protected from light; typically stable ~24 months.

Frequently asked questions
What is 5-Amino-1MQ?
5-Amino-1MQ (5-amino-1-methylquinolinium) is a small-molecule inhibitor of the enzyme nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT). It is a quinolinium compound, not a peptide, and is studied in preclinical laboratory models.
What size does 5-Amino-1MQ come in?
One size: a 50 mg fill of lyophilized powder in a sealed vial. It is in stock now.
Is 5-Amino-1MQ a peptide?
No. It is a small molecule with a molecular weight of about 159 g/mol for the cation, far smaller than any peptide we stock. We list it with our research compounds because it is tested and shipped the same way.
How is each lot tested?
Freedom Diagnostics Testing, PLLC in Franklin, Tennessee, an independent lab, tests every lot: purity by HPLC-UV, identity by LC-MS, and net content. A lot goes on sale only after its certificate is published.
Where is the certificate of analysis?
At luvaminos.com/coa/5AM-50-001. The lot number is printed on each vial. The lot on sale now is 5AM-50-001, and you can look up its code Luva2610140603 on Freedom Diagnostics' own website.
Why is the net content on the certificate different from 50 mg?
50 mg is the vial's fill. The lab weighs the powder in a sample vial and prints what it measured, so each lot's certificate shows the exact figure for that lot.
What does the powder look like?
The lab reports the current lot as an orange lyophilized powder. Colour can vary between lots; the certificate records it for each one.
When will my order ship, and what does shipping cost?
Same day if you order by 6 PM ET on weekdays or 1 PM ET on Saturday. Ground is free from $150 and $10 under that; Two-day is $15, $5 from $150 and free from $200.
