5-Amino-1MQ – 10mg

5-Amino-1MQ has become one of the most discussed small molecules in metabolic research, and LYFE Science offers it as a 10mg research vial to laboratories and independent investigators across Canada. When you buy 5-Amino-1MQ in Canada from LYFE Science, you receive material characterized to our standard purity benchmark and backed by a per-lot Certificate of Analysis.

What is 5-Amino-1MQ

5-Amino-1MQ (5-amino-1-methylquinolinium) is a small-molecule compound studied for its interaction with nicotinamide N-methyltransferase, an enzyme abbreviated NNMT. In the research literature, NNMT sits at an interesting crossroads of cellular energy metabolism and NAD-related pathways, which is why compounds that engage it have drawn steady attention from investigators mapping metabolic regulation. Unlike a peptide, 5-Amino-1MQ is a stable small molecule, which makes it a convenient reference material for in-vitro work.

Why researchers reference it

NNMT has been a focus of metabolic and cellular-aging research for several years, and 5-Amino-1MQ is frequently cited as a tool compound for probing that enzyme’s activity. Researchers reference it when they want a well-defined molecule to include in comparative studies of energy metabolism, adipocyte biology, and NAD-adjacent signalling. Its small size and stability make it straightforward to incorporate alongside peptide-based compounds in a broader research program. For context on how these compounds are grouped and studied, see our peptide guide.

Quality you can verify

LYFE Science holds every compound to a purity standard of ≥99% (HPLC & mass spectrometry). Each lot of 5-Amino-1MQ is accompanied by its own Certificate of Analysis, so the vial you receive can be traced directly to its verification data rather than a generic spec sheet. That lot-level transparency is the difference between material you can cite with confidence and material you have to take on faith.
