Chemical data
Handling & verification
5-Amino-1MQ is a small-molecule quaternary quinolinium compound and a selective inhibitor of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT). It is not a peptide, and is supplied as a reference compound for in vitro enzymology and metabolic-pathway work. Ships as a lyophilized powder, HPLC-verified at ≥99% purity.
Presentation and storage
Supplied lyophilized in a sealed vial. Store the sealed vial at −20 °C for long-term storage; refrigeration at 2–8 °C is adequate over shorter periods. Keep away from light and moisture.
Allow the vial to reach room temperature before opening, so atmospheric moisture does not condense onto the cake. As a quaternary ammonium salt it is hygroscopic — keep the vial sealed and dry, and note that the supplied mass includes the counter-ion.
Reconstitution
Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water. As a small molecule rather than a peptide it is less shear-sensitive than the peptides in this catalogue, but the same gentle handling applies — run the stream down the vial wall and swirl rather than shake.
- 10 mg vial in 1 mL diluent gives a 10 mg/mL stock
- 10 mg vial in 2 mL diluent gives a 5 mg/mL stock
- 10 mg vial in 5 mL diluent gives a 2 mg/mL stock
Once reconstituted, store at 2–8 °C and protect from light. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles — aliquot the stock if it will be drawn on more than a few times. Our reconstitution calculator works out any other combination.
Verification
Every lot is assayed by HPLC and released at ≥99% purity, and a per-lot certificate of analysis is available stating the batch number, the assay method and the measured purity. If you would like the certificate for the batch currently shipping before ordering, ask and we will send it.
Common questions
Does 5-Amino-1MQ come with a certificate of analysis?
Yes. Every lot of 5-Amino-1MQ ships with its own certificate of analysis showing HPLC purity, and the current certificate is published on our COA page before you buy — you do not have to order first or email anyone to see it.
What purity is 5-Amino-1MQ?
HPLC-verified at 99% or higher. The certificate for each lot states the measured figure, the detection wavelength and the method used, so the number can be checked rather than taken on trust.
How is 5-Amino-1MQ supplied and where does it ship?
It is supplied as lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder in a sealed vial, protected against light and impact. Full US shipping, operating from Texas. Delivery estimates are provided by the carrier at checkout.
How should 5-Amino-1MQ be stored?
Keep the lyophilized vial cold and dark — refrigerated for near-term use, frozen for longer storage. Once reconstituted it belongs in the refrigerator and its usable life is measured in weeks rather than months. Aliquot rather than thawing the same vial repeatedly, because freeze-thaw cycles cost more stability than most people expect.
How do I reconstitute 5-Amino-1MQ?
Add bacteriostatic water slowly down the inner wall of the vial so the stream does not strike the powder directly, then let it dissolve on its own — swirl gently if needed, never shake. The volume you add sets the concentration, so decide the concentration first and work backwards. Our free reconstitution calculator does that arithmetic and gives the volume to draw per aliquot.
Is 5-Amino-1MQ for human use?
No. 5-Amino-1MQ is supplied strictly as a reference material for laboratory research use only. It is not a drug, food, cosmetic or medical device, it is not for human or veterinary consumption, and it is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. We do not provide dosing guidance or protocols of any kind.
