5-Amino-1MQ

5-Amino-1MQ is a small-molecule quinolinium compound — not a peptide — that selectively inhibits nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), a cytosolic enzyme involved in the methylation of nicotinamide using S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) as a methyl donor. Durham Peptides also carries NAD+ for researchers studying NAD+ biology directly.

WHAT IS 5-AMINO-1MQ?

5-Amino-1MQ is a small-molecule inhibitor of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT). It is not a peptide — it is a quinolinium compound, characterised in the literature as both selective and membrane-permeable.

5-AMINO-1MQ 50MG VS 10MG — WHICH SIZE?

The 50mg vial is the bulk research size and offers materially better value per milligram; it suits extended or multi-arm study designs. The 10mg vial is the trial size for pilot work or single-arm studies. The material is identical — only the quantity differs.

IS 5-AMINO-1MQ A PEPTIDE?

No. Despite usually being sold alongside research peptides, 5-Amino-1MQ is a small molecule — a quinolinium NNMT inhibitor. It is supplied as a lyophilized powder (iodide salt) and does not share the handling profile of a peptide.

HOW SHOULD 5-AMINO-1MQ BE STORED AND RECONSTITUTED?

Store at 2–8°C, protected from light and moisture. Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water (sold separately) for research handling. Once reconstituted, keep refrigerated and use within an appropriate research timeframe.

HOW IS IT SHIPPED IN CANADA?

Orders placed and paid before 5:00 PM EST ship the same business day via Canada Post Xpresspost with full tracking. Shipping is domestic from within Canada, so there are no customs delays or border holds.

IS THE COA VERIFIABLE?

Yes. Every batch is independently lab-tested with a unique report key you can confirm independently — see our guide on how to verify a lab report key.
