5-Amino-1MQ, or 5-amino-1-methylquinolinium, is a novel small molecule compound that functions as a selective inhibitor of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), a cytosolic enzyme predominantly active in adipose tissue. NNMT plays a crucial role in cellular energy homeostasis by regulating the levels of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+). By blocking the activity of NNMT, 5-Amino-1MQ increases the bioavailability of nicotinamide, a precursor to NAD+, thereby elevating intracellular NAD+ levels. This elevation in NAD+ activates sirtuin-1 (SIRT1), often referred to as the “longevity gene,” which plays a vital role in DNA repair, inflammation reduction, and metabolic regulation. Anti-Inflammatory Properties: The activation of SIRT1 by increased NAD+ levels contributes to anti-inflammatory effects.

Research Context and Product Evaluation

This material may be relevant to NNMT inhibition, nicotinamide metabolism and NAD+-related biochemical research. Researchers should distinguish between biochemical or pre-clinical observations in the scientific literature and claims about human outcomes. Ascension Peptides supplies this product as a research material only; the listing is not intended to provide clinical guidance, dosing instructions, or therapeutic recommendations.

Before beginning an experiment, verify the product label, stated amount, lot or batch information, and any available analytical documentation. Researchers should also record the material used in each protocol so results can be traced back to the specific batch. Storage, preparation, and handling should follow the product documentation, the laboratory’s validated SOPs, and any requirements appropriate to the experimental method.

Quality and Analytical Documentation

Product quality should be assessed with evidence rather than marketing language alone. Where available, review the Certificates of Analysis and related analytical information for identity and purity data. Analytical results can vary by batch and method, so researchers should rely on the documentation associated with the material actually received rather than assuming that one report applies to every lot.

Ascension Peptides emphasizes clear product identification and research-only positioning across its catalog. Questions about a listing, documentation, or order details can be directed to customer support.
