The compound 5-Amino-1MQ (5-amino-1-methylquinolinium) represents one of the most promising innovations in the field of metabolic modulation and cellular research.

Supply duration: Standard cycle duration: Typically used in continuous cycles of 4 to 8 weeks (up to a maximum of 12 weeks).

The biological mechanism of 5-Amino-1MQ is based on the selective inhibition of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), a cytosolic enzyme predominantly expressed in the liver and adipose tissue, whose activity increases under pathological metabolic conditions such as obesity and type 2 diabetes.

Under normal physiological conditions, NNMT catalyzes the transfer of a methyl group from the universal cofactor S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) to nicotinamide (NAM), generating S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH) and 1-methylnicotinamide (1-MNA). This reaction actively limits cellular availability of nicotinamide, reducing the organism's capacity to synthesize nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide ($\text{NAD}^+$) via the metabolic salvage pathway.

Frequently asked questions

Answers that help you decide with confidence

Unlike biological peptides which are white, 5-Amino-1MQ is a small synthetic organic molecule containing a highly conjugated methylated quinolinium ring system. This chemical conformation absorbs specific wavelengths of light in the blue spectrum, naturally reflecting a bright orange or yellow-orange tone in its lyophilized crystalline state.
