Description
5-Amino-1MQ Research Compound
5-Amino-1MQ Research Compound is a synthetic small-molecule quinolinium compound intended for controlled laboratory and analytical research.
Although 5-Amino-1MQ is sometimes grouped with products marketed as “research peptides,” it is not a peptide. It does not consist of an amino-acid sequence. Instead, it is a chemically synthesized small molecule belonging to the quinolinium class.
For researchers, this distinction is important because the appropriate analytical and chemical descriptors for 5-Amino-1MQ are its chemical structure, salt form, molecular formula, molecular weight, identity, assay, and lot-specific analytical documentation, rather than a peptide sequence.
5-Amino-1MQ Chemical Identity
The encapsulated product form is identified as 5-amino-1-methylquinolinium iodide, with the active cation represented as C₁₀H₁₁N₂⁺. The iodide salt is reported as C₁₀H₁₁IN₂, with a molecular weight of approximately 286.11 g/mol.

Why 5-Amino-1MQ Is Not a Peptide
5-Amino-1MQ vs. Research Peptides
5-Amino-1MQ is chemically different from products such as BPC-157, TB-500, GHK-Cu, or other peptide-based research materials.
A peptide is composed of amino acids linked through peptide bonds. 5-Amino-1MQ instead has a defined small-molecule quinolinium structure.
Therefore, a peptide sequence does not apply to 5-Amino-1MQ.
