5-Amino-1MQ Reconstitution & Dosage Calculator
This free 5-Amino-1MQ calculator turns your vial size, the diluent volume, and your target amount into a concentration, a draw volume, and the exact units on a U-100 insulin syringe. 5-Amino-1MQ is a small-molecule NNMT inhibitor rather than a peptide, studied for effects on nicotinamide metabolism, and it is handled in whole-milligram amounts. This is a measurement tool — it does not recommend an amount.

What this 5-Amino-1MQ calculator does
This calculator does one job well: it turns your vial size, the amount of bacteriostatic water you add, and your target amount into a concentration (mg/mL), a draw volume (mL), and the matching units on a U-100 insulin syringe. Change any input and the result updates instantly.
5-Amino-1MQ ships as a freeze-dried powder. Before it can be measured into a syringe it has to be reconstituted — dissolved in bacteriostatic water. How much water you add sets the concentration, and the concentration sets how many units each amount works out to. The presets above cover the most common 5-Amino-1MQ vial setups; use the custom fields for anything else.
How to use the 5-Amino-1MQ calculator
Pick your syringe
Choose the U-100 insulin syringe you'll draw with. Smaller syringes (0.3 mL / 30u) have finer lines, which helps when the draw is small.
Enter your vial and water
Set the milligrams in your 5-Amino-1MQ vial and the bacteriostatic water you added. Together these set the concentration.
Set your target amount
Toggle mg or mcg and pick (or type) the amount you're measuring for. The calculator does the conversion for you.
Read the draw
The result panel shows concentration, draw volume, and the exact U-100 units to pull, plus how many doses your vial contains.
5-Amino-1MQ reconstitution math, explained
The math is short. Concentration = vial size ÷ bacteriostatic water. Draw volume = target amount ÷ concentration. Units = draw volume × 100 (a U-100 syringe reads 100 units per mL). The table below shows common 5-Amino-1MQ setups and the units for a 1 mg amount at each.
| Vial size | Bac water | Concentration | Units per 1 mg |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 mg | 1.0 mL | 5 mg/mL | 20 units |
| 5 mg | 2.0 mL | 2.5 mg/mL | 40 units |
| 10 mg | 2.0 mL | 5 mg/mL | 20 units |
| 10 mg | 4.0 mL | 2.5 mg/mL | 40 units |

| 2.5 mg (2500 mcg) | 0.5 mL | 50 units |
| 5 mg (5000 mcg) | 1 mL | 100 units |
| Amount | Volume (mL) | U-100 units |
|---|---|---|
| 1 mg (1000 mcg) | 0.4 mL | 40 units |
| 2.5 mg (2500 mcg) | 1 mL | 100 units |
| 5 mg (5000 mcg) | 2 mL | 200 units |
Mixing, color & storage tips
A small molecule, not a peptide
5-Amino-1MQ is a quinolinium compound rather than a chain of amino acids. The peptide-specific worry about agitation degrading the molecule does not apply in the same way, though gentle handling is still sensible. The concentration and draw arithmetic is identical, which is why it shares this calculator.
Oral and injectable forms both exist
This compound is widely supplied as oral capsules as well as in vials, and figures quoted for one route do not transfer to the other. This page computes vial reconstitution and syringe units; it is the wrong tool for a capsule.
Milligram-scale draws
At 5 mg/mL a 5 mg target is a full 1 mL — the entire capacity of a U-100 syringe. A more concentrated mix keeps larger amounts inside a single syringe; the calculator flags anything that will not fit.
Storage
Keep the dry material cold, dark and dry. Refrigerate once in solution, protect from light, and plan around a limited usable window.

5-Amino-1MQ — frequently asked questions
What does this 5-Amino-1MQ calculator tell me?
It converts your vial size, diluent volume, and target amount into concentration in mg/mL, draw volume in mL, and U-100 syringe units. It is a measurement tool, not a recommendation.
Is the 5-Amino-1MQ calculator free?
Yes — free, browser-based, and no account is required.
Is 5-Amino-1MQ a peptide?
No. It is a small-molecule NNMT inhibitor — a quinolinium compound, not a chain of amino acids. It appears here because the reconstitution and draw arithmetic is the same as for a peptide vial.
How much diluent do I add to a 10 mg 5-Amino-1MQ vial?
A 10 mg vial with 2 mL makes 5 mg/mL, so a 2.5 mg target is 50 units. Using 4 mL makes 2.5 mg/mL and doubles that to 100 units — a full syringe for the same amount.
How many units is 2.5 mg of 5-Amino-1MQ?
At 5 mg/mL it is 50 units (0.5 mL). At 2.5 mg/mL it is 100 units (1 mL). Units always depend on your exact concentration.
Does this apply to 5-Amino-1MQ capsules?
No. This calculator is for reconstituting a vial and converting an amount into syringe units. An oral capsule already has a fixed amount and no reconstitution step.
Is this medical advice?
No. This page and calculator are for education and research planning only. Products referenced are sold strictly as research chemicals and are not for human or veterinary use.
