Potential Applications in Research (RUO)
Strictly for laboratory research. No health, diagnostic, or therapeutic claims.
- NNMT enzyme assays — quantify inhibition vs. human NNMT (IC50/Ki) 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).
