5-Amino-1MQ

5-Amino-1MQ is a small-molecule research compound investigated in controlled experimental environments for its interaction with nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), an enzyme involved in nicotinamide metabolism and cellular methylation pathways.

Experimental research involving NNMT inhibition has examined relationships among nicotinamide metabolism, methyl-donor pathways, cellular energy regulation, adipocyte biology, and metabolic signaling.

Unlike many products within the OPTMZ Peptides catalog, 5-Amino-1MQ is not a peptide. It is more accurately classified as a small-molecule NNMT inhibitor.

The CAS number, chromatographic purity, measured content, identity confirmation, and endotoxin result above come directly from the Krause Analytical COA for the tested OPTMZ sample.

Important: I would use CAS 42464-96-0 for this product page because that is the CAS reported by the laboratory for the actual material tested, rather than substituting a CAS number from a generic database for another molecular/salt form.

Analytical & Testing

Each tested batch of 5-Amino-1MQ undergoes analytical evaluation to verify chromatographic purity, identity, compound content, and analytical consistency. A corresponding Certificate of Analysis is maintained for the tested lot.

The laboratory states that reported values are on a per-vial basis unless otherwise noted.

The COA also contains the chromatogram for sample 205076 on page 2 and the corresponding mass-spectral report on page 3.

Handling & Storage

5-Amino-1MQ should be handled by qualified professionals in controlled laboratory environments. Appropriate storage conditions should be maintained to preserve compound stability and analytical integrity.

Avoid unnecessary exposure to heat, moisture, and incompatible environmental conditions. Experimental preparation, storage, and handling should follow validated laboratory procedures appropriate to the intended research application.

Research Context

5-Amino-1MQ is investigated primarily in experimental models involving inhibition of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT).

Research areas include:

• NNMT enzyme activity
• Nicotinamide metabolism
• Cellular methylation pathways
• S-adenosylmethionine-associated metabolism
• NAD⁺-associated metabolic pathways
• Cellular energy metabolism
• Adipocyte biology
• Metabolic signaling
• Lipid-metabolism research
• Small-molecule enzyme inhibition
• NNMT pathway analysis

These areas describe experimental research contexts and do not establish therapeutic efficacy, weight-loss effects, or safety in humans.

Research Application Scope

5-Amino-1MQ continues to be evaluated as an experimental tool for studying NNMT and its relationship with cellular metabolic pathways.

Its activity as an NNMT inhibitor makes 5-Amino-1MQ relevant to laboratory investigations involving nicotinamide metabolism, methyl-donor pathways, cellular energy regulation, adipocyte biology, and enzyme-inhibition mechanisms.
