5-Amino-1MQ (5-amino-1-methylquinolinium) is a small-molecule, membrane-permeable inhibitor of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), the cytosolic enzyme that methylates nicotinamide to 1-methylnicotinamide using S-adenosylmethionine.

Neelakantan and colleagues characterized the methylquinolinium series in Caco-2 permeability assays and cultured 3T3-L1 adipocytes, reporting selectivity over related SAM-dependent methyltransferases and NAD+-salvage enzymes, reduced intracellular 1-methylnicotinamide, and increased NAD+ and SAM, in a 2017 Biochemical Pharmacology paper on selective small-molecule NNMT inhibitors. It is used in NNMT enzymology and NAD+/SAM flux studies.

Supplied as lyophilized powder, 10 mg per vial. Store sealed vials at 2–8 °C for short-term holding and at −20 °C for long-term storage, protected from light and moisture.
