Details
What it is
A small-molecule quinolinium salt, not a peptide. It was characterised as an inhibitor of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase, the enzyme that methylates nicotinamide and so competes with the salvage pathway that regenerates NAD+.
Also sold as: 5-amino-1-methylquinolinium, 5A1MQ
- As suppliedCrystalline powder, supplied as a salt.
- Into solutionWater-soluble. The published figures are for the cation, so the counter-ion mass is not included.
Reconstitution and handling
Handling
- As suppliedLyophilised powder
- Sealed, refrigeratedMonths
- In solutionRefrigerate, use short-term
Concentration is mass divided by the volume you added. A 5mg vial made up to one millilitre of solvent gives 5mg per millilitre; to two millilitres, half that. Record the volume you used: a solution whose concentration is not written down is a solution you cannot use quantitatively.
The full procedure is on our reconstitution guide, with a concentration calculator; what is known about keeping these materials is on storage and stability. Bacteriostatic water and acetic acid are both in our catalogue and can be ordered with a product or on their own.
