About 5-Amino-1MQ Capsules
5-Amino-1MQ capsules supply 5-amino-1-methylquinolinium (5-Amino-1MQ), a small-molecule quinolinium compound studied in laboratory research as an inhibitor of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT). Each bottle contains 60 capsules at 50 mg per capsule, for a nominal total content of 3,000 mg.
- NNMT inhibitor: 5-Amino-1MQ comes from a series of methylquinolinium analogues characterised in structure–activity studies of NNMT, the enzyme that transfers a methyl group from S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) to nicotinamide.
- Pathway research: NNMT sits where NAD+ salvage and cellular methylation meet, so its inhibitors are used in in vitro and preclinical models to study NAD+ metabolism, SAM-dependent methylation and cellular energy metabolism.
- Selective and cell-permeable: Published cell-based studies reported the compound as selective for NNMT over related methyltransferases and able to enter cells.
- Format: 60 capsules per bottle, 50 mg per capsule.
- Lab testing: Each lot is tested by an independent lab for identity and net content per capsule. Capsules carry no purity percentage because of the fillers in each capsule.
- Processing and shipping: Usually takes 1–2 business days, excluding weekends and holidays. US shipping options and estimated transit times provided at checkout.
About 5-Amino-1MQ
5-Amino-1MQ is the 5-amino derivative of 1-methylquinolinium, a permanently charged (quaternary) aromatic compound. Its small size and positive charge distinguish it from the nicotinamide-like substrates that NNMT normally acts on, which is why it is used as a tool compound in enzyme-inhibition and pathway studies. The same compound is also available as a 5-Amino-1MQ research vial.
Related research compounds include:
- NAD+, the coenzyme at the centre of the salvage pathway NNMT draws on
- MOTS-c, a mitochondrial-derived peptide studied in cellular energy signalling
- SLU-PP-332 Capsules, studied in relation to estrogen-related receptor (ERR) signalling.
Each bottle contains 60 capsules at a labeled 50 mg per capsule. This product is supplied for research purposes only and is not approved for human or veterinary use.

You ask,
we answer.
Are these peptides quality tested?
Yes. Each lot of capsules is tested by an independent lab for identity and net content, the amount of compound in each capsule.
Capsules carry no purity percentage, because the fillers in each capsule make one meaningless. The tested amount per capsule is shown in the lab results on this page and in our lab report library.
What are typical delivery times?
Free 2-Day Air shipping is available when qualifying merchandise totals reach $200. Subscriptions ship 2-Day free once the subscribed items reach $50, on the first order and on every renewal. Overnight Air is also available. Please allow up to 24 hours for processing.
Every package comes with professional packaging and tracking updates via email.
How should these compounds be stored?
Our peptides are shipped in lyophilized form, which is stable at room temperature during transit. Once received, store unopened vials in a cool, dry place.
Are products stable during shipping?
Our peptides are shipped in lyophilized (freeze-dried) form, which ensures stability during transit. This powder form is highly stable at room temperature and resistant to temperature fluctuations that occur during shipping.
Research has shown no significant degradation or loss of purity when lyophilized peptides are exposed to room temperature during typical shipping timeframes. Each batch is verified for purity upon production, and our stability testing confirms maintenance of product integrity during standard shipping conditions.
What are your bulk ordering options?
For bulk inquiries and volume pricing, please contact us.
What is the shelf life/expiration of unopened vials?
Each lot lists a best-by/expiration on the vial label and COA. As general guidance, lyophilized peptides stored as directed are typically stable 12–24 months (often longer at –20 °C). Short shipping periods at ambient temperature are normal. Actual stability depends on sequence and storage conditions.
