Description
Our 5-Amino-1MQ 10mg vial holds 10mg of lyophilized 5-Amino-1MQ, an NNMT inhibitor. This batch tested at 99.63% purity. It’s intended for lab research only.
What is 5-Amino-1MQ?
5-Amino-1MQ is a small quinolinium molecule that inhibits nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), an enzyme highly expressed in fat tissue.
It’s sold as the iodide salt.
How 5-Amino-1MQ works
NNMT moves a methyl group onto nicotinamide, a form of vitamin B3. Fat cells make a lot of it. Blocking it leaves more nicotinamide available for NAD+ production and changes the cell’s methyl balance.
5-Amino-1MQ is a small, membrane-permeable NNMT inhibitor. In mouse fat cells it raised NAD+ and reduced fat storage, which is why it’s studied in obesity and aging models.

What the research says about 5-Amino-1MQ
Neelakantan and colleagues reported in 2018 that it reduced fat mass and body weight in obese mice.
Later work looked at muscle stem cells in aged mice.
The primary literature is on PubMed. Here’s a search for 5-Amino-1MQ studies to start from.
How 5-Amino-1MQ compares
Labs choosing 5-Amino-1MQ 10mg usually weigh it against a few close relatives. 5-Amino-1MQ is a small molecule that blocks the enzyme NNMT inside fat cells, while:
- AOD-9604 is hGH fragment 177-191 with an extra tyrosine, studied for fat breakdown without raising IGF-1
- HGH Fragment 176-191 is the 16-residue C-terminal end of growth hormone, the parent of AOD-9604
- MOTS-c is a 16-amino-acid peptide coded in mitochondrial DNA, studied for glucose use in muscle
These four are studied for fat metabolism but act in very different places: the growth hormone fragments on fat tissue from outside, 5-Amino-1MQ and MOTS-c from inside the cell. See them all on our weight loss peptides page.
5-Amino-1MQ 10mg purity and testing
Purity for this batch of 5-Amino-1MQ 10mg came back at 99.63% by HPLC and mass spectrometry. That’s the figure for the batch currently in stock.
Every vial is labeled with the compound, the amount and the batch. If your lab keeps paperwork on file, email us the batch number from the label and we’ll send the certificate of analysis for it.
If a result looks off, check the batch number first, then your handling notes. Most problems with 5-Amino-1MQ come from storage or mixing, not the material.
5-Amino-1MQ 10mg reconstitution and concentration
Here’s the math for 10mg of peptide:
- 1mL of water gives 10mg/mL
- 2mL of water gives 5mg/mL
- 3mL of water gives 3.33mg/mL
Pick the volume that keeps your own calculations simple, then write the concentration and the mixing date on the label.
Most labs use sterile bacteriostatic water. Let the vial reach room temperature, run the water slowly down the inside of the glass, then roll the vial gently until the powder dissolves. Don’t shake it. Shaking can shear peptide chains.
How to store 5-Amino-1MQ 10mg
Freeze-dried 5-Amino-1MQ 10mg is stable at room temperature for shipping, but for anything longer keep it in a freezer at -20°C, away from light. Once mixed, keep it in the fridge at 2 to 8°C and use it within about four weeks.
If you keep several vials going at once, our vial storage case holds ten upright with room for labels, and the hard storage box protects them in a shared freezer or in transit.

5-Amino-1MQ 10mg questions
How much is in the 5-Amino-1MQ 10mg vial?
10mg of freeze-dried powder. The amount is printed on the label.
How should I store it?
Sealed vials keep at room temperature in transit. For storage, use the freezer long term or the fridge for a few weeks. Once mixed, refrigerate and use within about 28 days.
Can 5-Amino-1MQ be used in people or animals?
No. It’s sold for laboratory research only and isn’t approved for human or veterinary use.
Is 5-Amino-1MQ 10mg in stock?
Yes, 5-Amino-1MQ 10mg is in stock now and ready to ship.
Is there a COA for 5-Amino-1MQ 10mg?
Yes. Each batch has a certificate of analysis filed under the batch number on the label. Email us that number and we’ll send it.
