What is 5-Amino-1MQ?

5-Amino-1MQ is a synthetic quinolinium compound, not a peptide, designed to cross cell membranes and inhibit NNMT, an enzyme that is unusually active in fat tissue. Interest in the molecule grew out of work connecting NNMT activity to metabolic flexibility, prompting researchers to look for selective, cell-permeable inhibitors.

This listing is 5-Amino-1MQ from Lilipeptide (China), sold on Stairway to Gray with escrow: your payment is held until the order arrives and only then released to the brand.

How it is understood to work

By blocking NNMT, the compound is thought to limit the enzyme’s methylation of nicotinamide, which in preclinical models raises intracellular NAD+ and S-adenosylmethionine availability. Higher NAD+ turnover has been linked in these models to greater mitochondrial activity and altered lipid handling in adipocytes, though the full signaling cascade is still being mapped.

Research status

Laboratory studies have used 5-Amino-1MQ in rodent and cell-culture models of obesity, adipocyte differentiation, and age-related muscle stem cell decline. It remains an early-stage research tool rather than an approved therapeutic, and published data are largely limited to preclinical settings.

Lab testing

There is no public lab report for this listing yet. We can ask the brand for the batch COA before you order. Many buyers also split an independent HPLC test with others who bought the same batch.

Request the batch COA · How group testing works

Bought through escrow: the brand is only paid after you confirm delivery. If the parcel never arrives, or an independent test shows the wrong compound or a significant under-fill, open a claim before releasing payment.

Questions

Is 5-Amino-1MQ a peptide?

No. It is a small organic molecule (a quinolinium salt), unlike the amino-acid chain peptides sold alongside it, which is why its molecular weight and formula look very different from a peptide of similar vial size.

What should a certificate of analysis show for this compound?

A meaningful COA reports HPLC purity, confirms identity by mass spectrometry, and lists residual solvent and heavy-metal screening; because 5-Amino-1MQ is not a peptide, an amino-acid analysis is not applicable.
