Description
Our 5-Amino-1MQ 10mg vial holds 10mg of lyophilized 5-Amino-1MQ, an NNMT inhibitor, made and tested in the USA. It’s intended for lab research only.
About 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.

5-Amino-1MQ research
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.

5-Amino-1MQ compared with similar compounds
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 reconstitution and concentration
Concentration is the amount in the vial divided by the volume of water you add. With 10mg of powder in this vial:
- 1mL of bacteriostatic water gives 10mg/mL
- 2mL of bacteriostatic water gives 5mg/mL
- 3mL of bacteriostatic water gives 3.33mg/mL
Go with whichever number is easiest to work with in your protocol, and label the vial with the concentration and the date you mixed it. The vial itself holds 3mL, so that’s the upper limit.
Most labs use sterile bacteriostatic water; we sell it in 10mL and 30mL vials. Warm the sealed vial to room temperature, add the water slowly along the glass wall and swirl gently until it’s clear. Never shake it.
Storing 5-Amino-1MQ 10mg
Store sealed vials of 5-Amino-1MQ 10mg in the freezer (-20°C) or the fridge (2 to 8°C), out of direct light. Mixed solution goes back in the fridge and should be used within about 28 days.
If you keep several vials going at once, our 10 vial container keeps them upright and together on a fridge shelf, and spare 3mL vial caps protect the stoppers once the seals are off.
Lab-tested 5-Amino-1MQ 10mg
Every batch of 5-Amino-1MQ 10mg is made in the USA and checked by an independent U.S. lab for three things: that it’s the right compound, that the amount matches the label and that purity is 99% or better by HPLC.
Scroll through the photos at the top of the page and you’ll find the current batch’s certificate of analysis. We post the actual report, so you can check the figures yourself.
Purity isn’t the whole story, so batches are screened for endotoxins, heavy metals and sterility too. Write the batch number from the label into your notes so you can match results to the paperwork later.
5-Amino-1MQ sizes compared
- 5-Amino-1MQ 10mg (this page): $59.00, about $5.90 per mg
