§ A Overview

What the peptide is.

5-Amino-1MQ is a small-molecule inhibitor of NNMT (nicotinamide N-methyltransferase), the enzyme that methylates nicotinamide using SAM as methyl donor. NNMT is upregulated in adipose tissue in obesity; inhibition has been studied as a metabolic-research tool.

Published in 2018 by Neelakantan and colleagues. Purely preclinical at this stage.

Proposed mechanism

Competitive inhibition of NNMT → altered SAM / nicotinamide balance → downstream effects on adipose-tissue energy metabolism.

§ B Laboratory handling

Reconstitution, storage, and handling.

Lab-technical guidance for the researcher handling the material. Not therapeutic dosing, not administration guidance — those are not within the scope of this supply.

Reconstitution
Recommended solvent
Sterile water or DMSO (for cell-culture stock)
Typical volume
1 – 2 mL
Notes
  • Small molecule — readily soluble.
Storage
Lyophilised
−20 °C, desiccated, protected from light. Stable at 15–25 °C for up to 30 days in transit.
Reconstituted
2–8 °C, original vial, consumed within 4 weeks.
Shelf life · sealed
24 months from date of manufacture when stored lyophilised at −20 °C.
Shelf life · reconstituted
Up to 4 weeks refrigerated.
Handling notes
  • Small molecule — different handling from peptide reagents.
