HIGHLIGHTS
5-Amino-1MQ Research Protocol (10 mg Vial)
5-Amino-1MQ is a selective, cell-permeable NNMT (Nicotinamide N-methyltransferase) inhibitor. By blocking the NNMT enzyme, this compound is studied for its ability to shift cellular metabolism, potentially increasing intracellular NAD+ levels and activating SIRT1 pathways. This protocol is designed for laboratory research using subcutaneous administration to maximize bioavailability.
5-Amino-1MQ Research Summary (10 mg Vial)
5-Amino-1MQ is a small, selective molecule designed to inhibit the enzyme Nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT). Found predominantly in fat tissue, NNMT plays a significant role in how the body manages energy. By blocking this enzyme, 5-Amino-1MQ helps "flip a switch" in cellular metabolism, encouraging the body to prioritize fat burning and energy efficiency.
Mechanism of Action
5-Amino-1MQ works by addressing a metabolic bottleneck:
-
The Enzyme Problem: High levels of NNMT are often linked to obesity and metabolic decline. NNMT consumes NAD+ precursors, leaving the cell with less energy to perform vital functions.
-
The Solution: By inhibiting NNMT, 5-Amino-1MQ preserves NAD+ levels. This activation triggers the SIRT1 pathway, which stimulates mitochondrial biogenesis—essentially creating more "power plants" within your cells.
-
Result: Research indicates this leads to increased metabolic rate and the conversion of white adipose tissue (stored fat) into energy.
Key Research Benefits
-
Metabolic Optimization: Studies show it can prevent fat accumulation and reduce the size of fat cells without affecting food intake.
-
Muscle Maintenance: Unlike many weight-loss compounds, 5-Amino-1MQ has been shown to support lean muscle mass and improve muscle contractility.
-
Increased Strength: In animal models, research demonstrated a significant increase in grip strength when the compound was paired with physical activity.
-
Cellular Longevity: By boosting NAD+ and activating Sirtuins, it supports the body's natural anti-aging and repair mechanisms.
Research Protocol (10 mg Vial)
This protocol is tailored for the 10 mg vial format to ensure precise subcutaneous administration.
Reconstitution Guide
To achieve an accurate research concentration, add 2.0 mL of Bacteriostatic Water to the 10 mg vial.
-
Resulting Concentration: 5 mg per 1 mL.
-
Syringe Measurement: On a standard U-100 (1 mL) insulin syringe, 10 units = 0.5 mg.
Suggested Research Schedule
PhaseDaily DosageSyringe Units (0.01ml/unit)
Days 1–2 (Tolerance)2.5 mg (Once Daily)50 Units
Days 3+ (Standard)5 mg (Once Daily)100 Units (Full Syringe)
Alternative (Split)2.5 mg (Twice Daily)50 Units (AM) / 50 Units (PM)
-
Note on Half-Life: 5-Amino-1MQ has a relatively short half-life (approx. 4–7 hours). Splitting the dose into twice-daily (BID) administrations may provide more consistent enzyme inhibition throughout the day.
-
Vial Longevity: At a standard 5 mg daily dose, one 10 mg vial will last for 2 days of research.
Storage & Handling
-
Unopened (Powder): Should be stored in a freezer at -20°C for long-term stability.
-
Reconstituted (Liquid): Must be kept in the refrigerator (2–8°C). It is recommended to use the solution within 2–4 weeks of mixing.
-
Fragility: Avoid shaking the vial. Gently swirl the water and powder until the liquid is completely clear.
