5-Amino-1MQ — compound background
Small-molecule NNMT inhibitor (methylquinolinium salt) — not a peptide
5-Amino-1MQ is a small quinolinium molecule characterised as a first-in-class inhibitor of NNMT (nicotinamide N-methyltransferase), an enzyme studied at the intersection of adipocyte metabolism and the cellular NAD+/methylation pool. It is not an amino-acid chain, which is why it sits apart from every peptide in this catalogue.
Solubility & reconstitution
As a small, charged quinolinium salt it is freely water-soluble and dissolves cleanly without the acidification, warming or anti-aggregation measures that lyophilized peptides sometimes need. There is no folded structure to denature and no hydrophobic core to drive aggregation.
Readily worked at 10-25 mg/mL; solubility is not the limiting factor.
Storage
Store the sealed powder dry at -20 °C. Small molecules of this class are generally more solution- and temperature-tolerant than peptides. Refrigerate at 2-8 °C. Without proteolysis- or oxidation-prone bonds, the aqueous solution is comparatively stable.
Commonly worked with for several weeks at 2-8 °C in preserved diluent.
Stability
The peptide degradation routes (deamidation, methionine oxidation, aspartate isomerisation) do not apply here. Do not carry peptide-handling intuitions over to this small molecule.
Reading the Certificate of Analysis
Confirm identity by molecular ion (the cation is near 159 Da) and purity by RP-HPLC. Because it is not a peptide, the acetate-salt / net-peptide-content distinction does not apply, but the counterion and any residual synthesis solvents are worth noting on the COA.
