At a glance

A small-molecule NNMT inhibitor investigated in enzyme, adipocyte and mouse experiments. It is not a peptide.

Cell researchAnimal research

Limits of the evidence. These findings do not establish human efficacy or safety. NNMT gene studies and experiments on other inhibitors are not direct evidence for this material.

Identity and specifications

5-amino-1MQ denotes 5-amino-1-methylquinolinium. Chemical form, counterion and measured content remain material-specific details; a colour or nominal mass is not an identity test.

What the selected studies examined

Neelakantan and colleagues investigated selective, membrane-permeable NNMT inhibitors, including biochemical and adipocyte measurements and short-duration mouse experiments. The paper appeared online in 2017 and in the 2018 journal volume.

Limitations and open questions

These findings do not establish human efficacy or safety. NNMT gene studies and experiments on other inhibitors are not direct evidence for this material.

These publications describe the materials and experimental conditions used by their authors. They do not establish the identity, composition, stability, safety or performance of East Coast Labs material. A reference list is a selected starting point, not a systematic review.

Interpreting a supplied material

Check the exact product and selected size, then read its documentation status. A historical supplier report describes the named sample at the stated date; it does not establish a match to current stock. Read Testing & quality for the distinction between document authenticity and a documented lot relationship.

Handling, solvent compatibility and stability require material-specific information and a validated laboratory protocol. Published biological findings do not establish storage conditions or suitability for a particular experiment.
