Where to buy 5-Amino-1MQ (5-amino-1-methylquinolinium) in the UK: the sellers with a verifiable COA

By Jamie, Editor · The Peptide Watch · updated 30 October 2026

The newest verifiable 5-Amino-1MQ certificate on any UK seller's website is on Peptology Labs (peptologylabs.uk), analysed 14 Aug 2026 (task #221315 on Janoshik's site); 3 verified sellers hold one covering 5-Amino-1MQ, listed newest first below.

Newest report first. Every report was opened on Janoshik's own website and names the seller as the client. The date is the analysis date printed on the report. The verify link opens the laboratory, never the shop. Audit findings, not recommendations.

A record of paperwork, not a recommendation: The Peptide Watch sells nothing, takes no money from sellers and links to none of them.

Every 5-Amino-1MQ purity report we have read (3), one row per report

The 3 verifiable 5-Amino-1MQ certificates we have read, newest first

Each row was opened on Janoshik's own site by a real page load and transcribed. The client column is the name the laboratory printed; a certificate counts as a seller's own only when that name is the seller. The report date is the analysis date printed on the report where we have read it, otherwise the date the laboratory received the sample. The verify link opens the laboratory, never the shop. Audit findings, not recommendations.

Why the date on a certificate matters

A certificate describes one sample from one batch. A seller that keeps testing publishes a new report each time the batch changes, so the newest date should keep moving. If a seller's newest 5-Amino-1MQ report is six months old, either it is still selling that same batch, which is unusual for a popular peptide, or it has stopped testing what it now sells. Either way the certificate on its page is not evidence about the vial you would receive. Check the batch number on your vial against the report, and ask the seller for the report for that batch.

What a purity figure means

The purity on a Janoshik report is the share of the main peak in an HPLC chromatogram. 99.5% means that 99.5% of what the detector saw was one substance and 0.5% was something else. It is not the amount in the vial: that is the separate quantity line, in milligrams. It does not by itself prove which substance the peak is: that is identity, confirmed by mass spectrometry. And it says nothing about sterility, endotoxins or heavy metals, which are separate tests.

A purity figure printed on a shop page with no report behind it is a claim, not a measurement. Between two reports, the difference that matters is rarely 99.2% against 99.8%; it is whether the report exists at all, names the seller as the client, covers this compound on its own, and is recent.

What 5-Amino-1MQ is, and what it is sold as

5-Amino-1MQ is a small-molecule enzyme inhibitor, not a peptide, sold by peptide shops for fat loss on the basis of mouse studies. Its research base is tiny, which makes an independent certificate the only checkable fact about it.

Development statusNever in clinical development. Preclinical. No registered trial and no human study; the licensee was preparing an IND as of 2022.
OriginatorStanley Watowich and colleagues, University of Texas Medical Branch. Rights: University of Texas patents, licensed exclusively to Ridgeline Therapeutics.
Registered clinical trials0 on ClinicalTrials.gov

Four papers. 5-Amino-1MQ is a small-molecule inhibitor of the enzyme NNMT, not a peptide, developed in Stanley Watowich's laboratory at the University of Texas Medical Branch and covered by a university patent application. PubMed indexes 4 papers under its name, 3 of them mouse studies; there is no human study of any kind and ClinicalTrials.gov lists none.

A licensee is preparing a first human trial, of its own candidate. Ridgeline Therapeutics holds exclusive rights to the university's NNMT-inhibitor patents and in 2022 reported GLP toxicology work ahead of an investigational new drug application. No trial has been registered, and nothing sold online is that clinical candidate.

For a buyer, the fat-loss claims trace to mouse data, and a certificate can only confirm what is in the vial: the three purity reports we read give the milligrams recovered (4.39 mg, 5.43 mg and 9.40 mg) and none of them carries a purity percentage.

What regulators say about 5-Amino-1MQ

In the UK. Not a licensed medicine in the UK. Sold as a research chemical.

We hold no statement from the FDA, MHRA or EMA specifically about 5-Amino-1MQ on file. Its development and licence sources are listed under the record above.

What the 3 5-Amino-1MQ certificates show

We have read 3 Janoshik reports covering 5-Amino-1MQ, published by 3 UK sellers. Each was opened on Janoshik's own website. All 3 name the seller itself as the client. All 3 are dated within the last six months. The newest is dated 14 Aug 2026 and the oldest 21 May 2026.

A certificate is a batch document. The lines that matter are the compound (it must say 5-Amino-1MQ, not only a batch code), the client (the shop, not its supplier) and the analysis date. A new batch is untested until a new report appears.

Questions people ask

Which UK sellers publish a verifiable Janoshik certificate naming 5-Amino-1MQ?

As of 30 October 2026, 3: Peptology Labs, Thoroughbredlabs, Biohackpeptides. Each has a report on Janoshik's own website that names the seller as the client and lists 5-Amino-1MQ. That is a statement about paperwork, not a recommendation; The Peptide Watch does not recommend anywhere to buy 5-Amino-1MQ.

How recent is the newest 5-Amino-1MQ certificate from a UK seller?

The newest we have read is Janoshik task #221315, sample received 14 Aug 2026. It is published by Peptology Labs and names it as the client. A certificate covers one batch, so an old one says little about stock on sale today.

How do I check that a certificate for 5-Amino-1MQ is genuine?

Four things: an independent laboratory is named; the client field names the seller you are buying from, not a supplier; the compound line says 5-Amino-1MQ; and the report's task number and key open the same report on the laboratory's own website (verify.janoshik.com). A branded PDF with no laboratory name and no verification code fails on the first check, however professional it looks. The free COA Checker on this site runs the checks for you.

Is 5-Amino-1MQ a licensed medicine in the UK?

Not a licensed medicine in the UK. Sold as a research chemical. Preclinical. No registered trial and no human study; the licensee was preparing an IND as of 2022. The Peptide Watch does not give legal or medical advice.

Why does The Peptide Watch not say where to buy 5-Amino-1MQ?

Because the site records paperwork, not recommendations. A verifiable certificate proves that a sample of one batch was tested. It does not prove the vial you receive matches it, and it says nothing about whether anyone should use 5-Amino-1MQ. Listing which sellers publish a certificate you can check, and which publish nothing, is as far as the evidence goes.

The Peptide Watch's position on 5-Amino-1MQ

Not a licensed medicine in the UK. Sold as a research chemical. The Peptide Watch reads the certificates UK sellers publish and does not recommend anywhere to buy 5-Amino-1MQ. Sellers on this page are listed by the date of their newest 5-Amino-1MQ certificate and by nothing else. If you can verify a seller's testing, you can at least judge its evidence; if you cannot, you are taking the seller's word for what is in the vial. See how UK testing compares across every seller in the market statistics.

An honest note: a verifiable certificate proves a sample of a batch was tested, not that the specific vial you receive matches it, see what this can and can't tell you. The Peptide Watch sells no 5-Amino-1MQ and links to no shop; this is research-use-only information, not medical or dosing advice.
