Potential Applications in Research (RUO)

Strictly for laboratory research. No health, diagnostic, or therapeutic claims.

NNMT enzyme assays — quantify inhibition vs. human NNMT (IC₅₀/K_i) using SAM/NAM turnover and LC–MS or coupled spectrophotometric readouts; compare substrate-site vs. allosteric inhibitors under matched ionic strength.
Cellular NAD⁺ salvage studies — measure intracellular NAD⁺/NADH pools and 1-methylnicotinamide (1-MNA) output in adipocyte, hepatocyte, or fibroblast models after defined dosing; pair with NAMPT pathway gene/protein panels.
Myoblast differentiation models — evaluate C2C12 differentiation markers (e.g., MHC staining), fusion index, and mitochondrial respiration following NNMT inhibition in serum-controlled media.
Epigenetic/metabolism crosstalk — profile histone H3 methylation (e.g., H3K4me) and methionine/SAM cycle metabolites (LC–MS) to study “methylation-sink” mechanisms in cell lines of interest.
Analytical method development — create stability-indicating RP-HPLC or LC–MS(/MS) methods for identity/purity, salt-content verification (iodide), and forced-degradation (light, pH, temperature).

Quality, Storage & Handling

Every lot is confirmed by HPLC (purity) and MS (identity); the on-vial QR links to the batch COA. Independent U.S. labs verify purity, quantity, and endotoxin.

Storage (solid): −20 °C long-term or 2–8 °C short-term; keep desiccated and protected from light.
Reconstitution tips: Prepare concentrated DMSO stocks; for aqueous work, dilute into buffer with gentle mixing. If sterility is required, 0.22 µm filter and aliquot promptly.
Handling: Use calibrated microbalances and solvent-compatible plastics/glass; minimize light and moisture exposure during weighing and transfer.

Shipping & Fulfillment

Ships with validated cold-chain packaging. In-stock orders placed before the daily cutoff ship the same day. 2-Day FedEx/UPS is standard, with overnight options available. Automated text/email updates included; international shipping available where permitted.

Compliance & RUO Disclaimer

For laboratory research only. Not a drug, cosmetic, food, or household chemical. Not for human or animal use, ingestion, diagnostic, or therapeutic applications. Purchasers warrant appropriate qualifications and compliance with applicable regulations and institutional policies.

FAQs

Is this the free base or a salt?: We typically supply the iodide salt for solubility and handling; the cation entry is PubChem CID 950107. Verify the counter-ion on your lot COA.
What solubility should I expect?: 5-Amino-1MQ is readily soluble in DMSO for stock solutions; aqueous solubility is limited and may require co-solvent or pH-adjustment per your SOP.
What purity do you provide?: Each 10 mg vial is ≥99% by HPLC with MS identity confirmation; third-party testing is performed on every lot (COA via on-vial QR).
