Handling & Stability
Storage. Store dry powder desiccated at -20°C to -80°C, strictly protected from direct light.
Solubility. Soluble in anhydrous DMSO (≥ 25 mg/mL), sterile deionized water (≥ 10 mg/mL), and Phosphate-Buffered Saline (PBS, pH 7.4, ≥ 5 mg/mL) for in vitro assay delivery.
- Photostability & Handling: Quinolinium derivatives exhibit photosensitivity in solution; prepare laboratory stock solutions under amber light or light-blocking conditions and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Mechanism & Literature
Small-molecule, membrane-permeable selective inhibitor of Nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), exhibiting an in vitro inhibitory constant (IC50) of ≈ 1.2 μM in cell-free enzymatic assays.
Cellular Pathways: Investigated in preclinical cell cultures (e.g., 3T3-L1 adipocytes and C2C12 myoblasts) to evaluate modulation of intracellular Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD+) flux, reduction of 1-methylnicotinamide (1-MNA) production, and shifts in the S-adenosylmethionine to S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAM/SAH) methylation ratio.

Technical Laboratory FAQs
What enzymatic target does 5-Amino 1MQ modulate in vitro?
5-Amino 1MQ functions as a competitive inhibitor of Nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), blocking the methyl transfer from SAM to nicotinamide in cell-free assays.
Why is 5-Amino 1MQ formulated as a quinolinium salt?
The quaternary nitrogen in the quinolinium ring carries a positive ionic charge, requiring a counter-ion (such as iodide or chloride) to ensure crystalline stability and aqueous solubility for laboratory assay preparation.
What solvent is recommended for preparing in vitro 5-Amino 1MQ working solutions?
Anhydrous DMSO or sterile PBS (pH 7.4) is recommended for establishing initial concentrated stock solutions prior to dilution into cell culture media.
