Compound information

Technical specifications

Molecular profile · 5-Amino-1MQ
Type
Small molecule
Scientific name
5-Amino-1-methylquinolinium (IUPAC: 1-methylquinolin-1-ium-5-amine); commonly supplied as the iodide salt
Molecular weight
159.21 g/mol (free cation); 286.11 g/mol as the iodide salt
Formula
C10H11N2+ (cation); C10H11IN2 (iodide salt)
CAS
685079-15-6 (cation); 42464-96-0 (iodide salt)
Origin
Synthetic quaternary N-methylquinolinium — a substrate-site-directed inhibitor of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT); not a peptide and not gene-encoded. Identified within the methylquinolinium NNMT-inhibitor series reported in J Med Chem 2017 (PMID 28548833).
Storage requirements
Lyophilized (powder)
-20°C, desiccated and protected from light · stable long-term as the dry powder/salt
Reconstituted
2-8°C · use within 30 days; for longer holds aliquot and store at -20°C to avoid repeated freeze-thaw
Room temperature
Dry powder tolerates short ambient excursions in transit, but sustained room-temperature storage with humidity or light exposure risks caking of the hygroscopic salt and oxidation of the 5-amino group. Solutions should not be held at room temperature.
