Description

5-Amino-1MQ 10mg

5-Amino-1MQ (5-amino-1-methylquinolinium) is a synthetic small-molecule compound commonly studied for its role as an inhibitor of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), an enzyme involved in cellular energy regulation and metabolic signaling. NNMT activity has been linked to alterations in nicotinamide metabolism, NAD⁺ homeostasis, and mitochondrial function.

In preclinical research models, inhibition of NNMT by 5-Amino-1MQ has been associated with changes in energy expenditure, lipid metabolism, and metabolic efficiency, making it a compound of interest in studies related to metabolic regulation and obesity-associated pathways. Its mechanism of action is distinct from peptide-based compounds, as it functions as a low-molecular-weight quaternary ammonium molecule rather than a protein or peptide hormone.
