5-Amino-1MQ is a small-molecule inhibitor of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), studied for its place in metabolic and NAD+-related pathways. It is not a peptide, but it shows up in the same research programs, so it warrants the same sourcing discipline.
What NNMT inhibition is about
NNMT consumes methyl groups and influences the cellular NAD+ pool. 5-Amino-1MQ is studied as a tool compound for probing that enzyme in metabolic models. Research interest connects it to the broader NAD+ literature, see our NAD+ research overview for adjacent context.
Small molecule, same verification bar
A small molecule still needs identity and purity confirmation, the questions don't change just because it isn't a peptide. Look for an HPLC purity figure and a mass-spec identity confirmation on the lot COA. Pure North applies the same published 99% purity floor and Janoshik verification, archived at /lab-results/.
Handling and storage
Store dry and cold per the lot COA, and dissolve in the carrier solvent your protocol specifies, small molecules often differ from peptides in solubility, so check our carrier solvent reference before reconstituting. Aliquot stock solutions and minimize freeze-thaw cycling.
Verify the lot
Match the vial lot number to the COA and cross-check it against the public archive at /coa-verify/. A supplier that publishes every past lot lets you do that check independently.
