Research
What the published literature examined
It is a small molecule rather than a peptide, and the work behind it is a single line of enzymology. Studies characterised selective, membrane-permeable inhibitors of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase and reported reversal of high-fat-diet-induced obesity in mice. Analytical work has since developed and validated an LC-MS/MS assay for quantifying it, which is a measurement capability rather than an efficacy finding.
What is not established
Human evidence of any kind, and the peptide classification it is usually sold under. No clinical trial was identified in this review. The mouse obesity result is the whole basis for its reputation, and reversal of diet-induced obesity in mice is one of the least transferable findings in metabolic research.
What distinguishes 5-Amino-1MQ
It is not a peptide. It is a small-molecule quaternary ammonium enzyme inhibitor sold alongside peptides, and that changes what a specification and a certificate of analysis for it should even contain. A buyer comparing it like-for-like against the peptides in this range is comparing two different classes of material.

Specification
About this compound
The specification below is the batch-independent data. Purity and analysis date vary by batch, so they appear on the certificate issued with your order rather than on this page.
What this compound is
5-Amino-1MQ in supply terms
5-Amino-1MQ, full name 5-Amino-1-methylquinolinium, is a small-molecule quinolinium salt rather than a peptide, a distinction worth noting for buyers used to ordering by amino acid sequence. The active species is a cation with the formula C10H11N2+ and a molecular weight near 159.21 g/mol; the material is commonly supplied as the iodide salt, CAS 42464-96-0, which carries a molecular weight near 286.11 g/mol once the counter-ion is included. It is listed in the Longevity category on this catalogue, grouped with compounds referenced in NNMT-related research literature, a categorisation drawn from the published literature rather than a claim attached to this product. As a quinolinium salt it differs structurally from every peptide on this list: no amide backbone, no amino acid sequence, and a fixed positive charge on the ring nitrogen. It ships as a lyophilised powder in multi-dose vials, typically at a 50mg fill weight, and reconstitutes with bacteriostatic water or sterile laboratory-grade water. Store refrigerated at 2-8C, away from direct light, with freezing recommended for stock held longer term. Because it is supplied as a salt, buyers comparing cost per milligram of active cation should confirm whether a quoted fill weight refers to the salt or the free cation before pricing against other small-molecule listings.

Questions
Supply, answered
Is 5-Amino-1MQ available for private label?
Yes. It can be supplied under your own brand on the vial and the carton, with the Certificate of Analysis issued under your product name.
What is the minimum order quantity?
Set for this compound specifically and confirmed at the enquiry stage, before you commit.
What purity is supplied?
98 percent or higher, verified by HPLC. The certificate issued with your batch carries the actual figure for that batch.
How is it shipped?
As lyophilised powder in multi-dose vials, packed for transit. Delivery in 5 to 7 days once the batch is released.
We already buy 5-Amino-1MQ. Can you quote against our current volume?
Yes. Send the volume and the delivery country. Pricing is tiered per compound, so the quote reflects what you buy rather than a list price.
Can you supply 5-Amino-1MQ as a second source?
Yes. Terms are agreed per compound, so you can add 5-Amino-1MQ without moving anything else you buy elsewhere.
