5-Amino-1MQ (10MG)

5-Amino-1MQ — 5-amino-1-methylquinolinium iodide, a small-molecule NNMT (nicotinamide-N-methyltransferase) inhibitor — supplied by BioFusion as a vacuum-sealed lyophilized 10mg vial for NNMT-pathway and methyl-donor-research chemistry.

Research context

5-Amino-1MQ is the canonical small-molecule reference for NNMT-inhibitor research panels. NNMT is an enzyme involved in methyl-donor depletion and metabolic regulation, and 5-Amino-1MQ has emerged since 2018 as the standard reference inhibitor in NNMT-pathway-mapping research. Frequently paired with NAD+ in combined methyl-donor and redox-cofactor research.

Synthesis & documentation

5-Amino-1MQ is a small-molecule research reference (not a peptide). BioFusion supplies it as a lyophilized solid via multi-stage purification with reverse-phase HPLC isolation. Each lot is verified for identity (LC-MS), purity (HPLC-UV ≥99.0%), and moisture (Karl Fischer). The COA reading guide applies equally to small-molecule references; signed COA ships with every order.

Storage & handling

Lyophilized 5-Amino-1MQ is stable at −20 °C for the printed shelf life. After reconstitution in water or DMSO, reference-stability data supports use within fourteen days at 2-8 °C, protected from light. The compound is photo-sensitive in solution — store in amber vials. The reconstitution calculator handles concentration math.

Why BioFusion

Small-molecule research references are vulnerable to identity drift if sourced through opaque supply chains. BioFusion publishes lot synthesis-date and HPLC-purity on the batch transparency ledger, releases COAs through the COA library, and ships domestically with no offshore re-labeling. Bulk discounts trigger at three+ vials; members save 25% on every order plus complimentary U.S. shipping for 365 days.
