## Description

This listing offers 5-Amino-1MQ as pre-portioned oral capsules instead of lyophilised powder. Every capsule holds 50 mg of the compound mixed with an inert filler, and you can choose bottles of 30 or 60. It is the identical material sold in our vial format — a quinolinium small molecule, CAS 42464-96-0, cation formula C10H11N2 plus with a mass of 159.21 g/mol, usually handled as the 286.11 g/mol iodide salt — assayed by HPLC to ≥99% and backed by a certificate of analysis for each lot.

Note that 5-Amino-1MQ contains no amino acid chain. It selectively blocks nicotinamide N-methyltransferase, which uses S-adenosylmethionine to attach a methyl group to nicotinamide. That one step links two areas of active research: it draws down the SAM methyl pool, and it pulls nicotinamide out of the NAD-plus recycling route. Reports describe high NNMT levels in white fat and further increases in obese and insulin-resistant models, which explains why blocking the enzyme attracted metabolic researchers.

## Frequently asked questions

### What does one capsule contain?

One capsule carries 50 mg of 5-Amino-1MQ plus an inert filler, packed in bottles of 30 or 60. The lot's certificate of analysis — referenced by the number on the bottle label — records measured content and purity.

### Does 5-Amino-1MQ count as a peptide?

It does not. It is a small organic quinolinium molecule (159.21 g/mol for the cation) that blocks nicotinamide N-methyltransferase. Although catalogues often place it next to peptides, we classify it with the metabolic research compounds.

### When are capsules preferable to the vial format?

Because the amount per capsule is fixed, there is no weighing, dissolving or dilution step, so preparation error shrinks when a study has many time points or animals. Capsules also make it simple to add an oral arm alongside injected or cell-based comparisons.

### How is purity checked, and can I get the COA?

Every lot undergoes HPLC analysis to ≥99% together with an identity test. You can ask for the certificate matching the lot number on your bottle either before ordering or after delivery; it documents assay and identity for that batch.

### How do I store the capsules?

Keep the bottle closed, cool and dry, away from direct light, and leave the desiccant inside. Because the iodide salt absorbs moisture readily, humidity is the biggest risk — keep the lid on and avoid decanting capsules into open containers.

### Are the capsules meant for human consumption?

No. They are laboratory research material only — not a food supplement, foodstuff or medicinal product. The compound has not been through controlled clinical trials, and we supply no dosing, protocol or administration advice with it.
