5-Amino-1MQ
5-Amino-1MQ is a small-molecule quinolinium cation, not a peptide; it is commercially supplied as a salt, for example the iodide. It belongs to the methylquinolinium NNMT inhibitors reported by Neelakantan et al. (Biochem Pharmacol 2018), who studied this class in cultured adipocytes and in diet-induced obese mice.
