    5-Amino-1MQ: Research, Benefits & UK Availability

    A small molecule NNMT inhibitor researched for increasing cellular energy expenditure and reducing fat accumulation.

    Every Peptify 5-Amino-1MQ batch is independently HPLC-tested by Janoshik Analytical (Czech Republic) and ships with the batch-matched Certificate of Analysis.

    What is 5-Amino-1MQ?

    **Metabolic research.** 5-Amino-1MQ is the small-molecule NNMT (nicotinamide N-methyltransferase) inhibitor — a focused mechanistic axis in metabolic research, raising intracellular NAD+ and SAM together via enzyme inhibition rather than direct substrate supplementation.

    Research in obesity models has examined body composition endpoints, adipocyte size, lean tissue, and metabolic markers through a mechanism distinct from appetite-suppressing approaches in the published catalogue. NNMT distribution in white adipose tissue and liver has been documented across the published literature as the basis for tissue-targeted research.

    50mg lyophilised vial. Batch-specific COA included; 99%+ HPLC, independently verified. For in-vitro research use only.

    Key Research Areas

    Selective NNMT (nicotinamide N-methyltransferase) inhibitor — targets a metabolic axis not addressed by any other characterised research compound
    Intracellular NAD+ and SAM (S-adenosylmethionine) availability elevated in published models — two substrate pools affected simultaneously
    Fat oxidation and lipid accumulation modulated in preclinical research without observed appetite suppression — mechanism-distinct from GLP-1 axis
    Body weight and lean body mass outcomes studied in published preclinical research; composition changes examined alongside metabolic markers
    NNMT inhibition as a concept characterised in white adipose tissue and liver models — tissue distribution of effects investigated

    How to Store 5-Amino-1MQ

    Unreconstituted (Lyophilised Powder)

    Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. For long-term storage, keep refrigerated at 2–8°C. Under these conditions, lyophilised peptides can remain stable for up to 24 months. For extended preservation beyond 24 months, store at -20°C in a freezer.

    Reconstituted (Mixed with BAC Water)

    Once reconstituted with bacteriostatic water, the peptide solution must be refrigerated at 2–8°C. Use within 4–6 weeks for optimal potency. Do not freeze reconstituted peptides as this may degrade the compound.

    General Tips

    Always keep vials upright to prevent leakage. Avoid repeated temperature fluctuations — do not leave vials out at room temperature for extended periods. Protect from light exposure by storing in the original packaging or a dark container. Label all vials with the reconstitution date.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is 5-Amino-1MQ?

    5-Amino-1MQ inhibits the enzyme NNMT (nicotinamide N-methyltransferase), which plays a role in fat cell metabolism. Inhibiting NNMT may increase cellular energy expenditure.
