5-Amino-1MQ 50mg overview
5-Amino-1MQ (5-amino-1-methylquinolin-1-ium iodide, CAS# 42464-96-0) is a synthetic quinolinium salt that acts as a selective substrate-site inhibitor of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT). NexPept supplies it as a research reference standard for NAD⁺ salvage pathway and metabolic enzyme studies in cultured cells. Not for use in any living organism.
Every lot is independently tested by a third-party analytical laboratory before it is listed. The Certificate of Analysis reports HPLC purity, mass spectrometry identity confirmation, and net-content verification, and stays published in our COA library after the batch sells out.
For background on the compound itself — what NNMT does, how inhibiting it affects NAD⁺ availability, and what the published research covers — see our 5-Amino-1MQ research overview.

Research context
5-Amino-1MQ is used as a pharmacological tool compound in preclinical in vitro settings. Published work has examined its behaviour in NNMT enzyme inhibition assays, NAD⁺ salvage pathway and methionine cycle flux studies, adipogenesis models in 3T3-L1 cells, and skeletal muscle cell regeneration research.
As a defined small molecule with consistent structural characteristics between lots, it is used in controlled laboratory environments to study metabolic enzyme activity and downstream NAD⁺ metabolism signalling. Lot-to-lot consistency matters for this kind of work, which is why every NexPept batch is published with its own purity figure rather than a blanket claim.
This compound has not been authorized by Health Canada for any therapeutic, clinical, or human use.

Frequently asked questions
What testing does each batch go through?
Identity and purity are confirmed by high-performance liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry before a lot is listed. The current lot, NP-5AMQ50-02, tested at 99.89% on August 26, 2026. If a lot has not been tested, it does not go on sale.
What class of compound is 5-Amino-1MQ?
A synthetic quinolinium salt that acts as a selective substrate-site inhibitor of NNMT. It is not a peptide, and it is handled as a metabolic-enzyme pharmacological research tool rather than a formulation.
What physical form does it arrive in?
A white to off-white powder, sealed in a single vial. Net quantity is 50mg. No preparation, reconstitution or handling instructions are supplied; those are determined by qualified personnel under your own institutional protocols.
How does the 50mg vial differ from the 10mg vial?
Both are the same compound and purity-tested to the same standard; the 50mg format simply supplies more net material per vial for labs running higher-volume or longer assay series, while the 10mg format suits smaller pilot studies. Each strength is tested and certified as its own separate batch.
