About 5-Amino-1MQ

Molecular weight: 159.21 g/mol
CAS number: 685079-15-6

5-Amino-1MQ (5-amino-1-methylquinolinium) is a small-molecule quinolinium compound, not a peptide. It has been characterised in preclinical research as a cell-permeable inhibitor of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), used as a tool compound to probe NNMT-mediated methylation and downstream effects on cellular NAD⁺ and SAM pools.
