CAS Registry Number: 42464-96-0

Molecular Formula: C₁₀H₁₁N₂

Molecular Weight: 159.21 g/mol

5-Amino-1MQ (also written as 5-Amino-1MQ or 5-amino-1-methylquinolinium) is a small-molecule research compound, commonly supplied as the iodide salt (5-amino-1-methylquinolinium iodide). It acts as a selective inhibitor of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), studied for potential effects on metabolism, energy homeostasis, NAD+ levels, and obesity-related pathways in preclinical models. It is not a peptide but a synthetic quinolinium derivative, often sold in research contexts for laboratory use only—not approved for human consumption.

5-amino-1MQ is a small-molecule research compound that functions as a selective nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT) inhibitor. In preclinical metabolic models, it enhances NAD⁺ salvage pathway flux, leading to improved energy homeostasis and sirtuin activation. 5-Amino-1MQ is used to investigate epigenetic and redox control mechanisms associated with cellular metabolism and aging.
