What is 5-Amino-1MQ?
5-Amino-1MQ is not a peptide. It is a small organic molecule — a substituted quinolinium — and it contains no amino acid chain at all.
Classification
| Type | Small molecule — not a peptide |
| Family | Quinolinium compound |
| Origin | Described in academic literature from the 2010s as an NNMT inhibitor |
| Supplied as | Lyophilised powder in a sealed vial |
It is grouped with research peptides by suppliers because of how it is sold and who buys it, not because of any chemical relationship. Anyone reading about peptide purity, net peptide content or HPLC peptide assays should note that those concepts apply differently, or not at all, to a small molecule like this one.
What this page does not cover
Nothing here describes what 5-Amino-1MQ does, what it is used for, or whether it is safe. We publish analytical results and ship parcels; we give no guidance on dosing, preparation or use, and that applies to our reference pages as much as to the product pages. The person to ask about any of that is a registered prescriber.
Where it came from
5-Amino-1MQ is a small molecule with a quinolinium core. It is not a peptide, and the naming makes that obvious once you read it.
Published around 2018 — United States. When was 5-Amino-1MQ created?
