5-Amino-1MQ
Coming soon5 Amino 1MQ5-Amino-1-methylquinolinium, a small molecule that is not a peptide. Researchers study methylquinolinium compounds as inhibitors of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT) in cell culture and mouse models.
Supplied as a single-chamber lyophilized vial with a colour-coded cap (Longevity & Energy).
Research literature, not dosing or treatment instructions.
- Structure-activity work on small-molecule NNMT inhibitors identified N-methylquinolinium scaffolds with low micromolar inhibition, the scaffold class of 5-amino-1MQ. (PMID 28548833)
- Membrane-permeable methylquinolinium NNMT inhibitors were tested in cell culture and in mice on a high-fat diet. (PMID 29155147)
