5-Amino-1MQ — a small molecule NNMT inhibitor — used in metabolism and NAD+ salvage research.
5-Amino-1MQ is a lab-made small molecule, not a peptide. It was designed to block an enzyme called NNMT. That enzyme normally chews up a form of vitamin B3 (nicotinamide) that your body uses to make NAD+, an energy molecule. When 5-Amino-1MQ blocks NNMT, more of that vitamin B3 stays available. In theory, that helps keep NAD+ levels from falling. A group of university chemists first reported it in 2017–2018. Their goal was to treat obesity and other metabolic problems. It is still only a research tool, not an approved drug. No one has tested how the human body handles it.
Keep lyophilized research material sealed, protected from light, and handled with standard laboratory controls. Follow internal SOPs for storage, reconstitution, labeling and disposal.
Not approved for human use. Investigational small molecule classified as a research chemical. Not reviewed by FDA for any therapeutic indication; no IND has been publicly disclosed through ClinicalTrials.gov as of April 2026.
5-Amino-1MQ is a small molecule methylquinolinium analog rather than a peptide. PubChem indexes it at CID 950107 with formula C10H11N2+ and molecular weight 159.21 g/mol; it is commonly handled as a salt form in research supply chains.
