Technical specifications
- 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).
- 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.
