Overview
5-Amino-1MQ (5-amino-1-methylquinolinium) is a small-molecule quinolinium derivative most commonly supplied as the iodide salt. The salt has the molecular formula C10H11IN2, a molecular weight of approximately 286.11 g/mol, and CAS number 42464-96-0. It is widely used in biochemical research as a selective, substrate-competitive inhibitor of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT).
Structurally, the active cation (C10H11N2+, MW ≈ 159.21) is a methylated quinolinium ring carrying a 5-amino substituent. The compound targets the substrate-binding site of NNMT and has been characterized in in-vitro enzyme-inhibition and cell-based studies.
