Cartilage and Bone Research An interesting and perhaps unexpected area of published research has examined this compounds interactions with cartilage biology
reliable data could not be obtained at 5-amino-1MQ concentrations above 100 M due to inference with the NAMPT assay readout signal (Figure 4D, Table 3)
Current use is limited to research purposes under physician supervision
