5-AMINO-1MQ
For Research Use Only | Not for Human or Veterinary Use
Description:
5-Amino-1MQ (5-amino-1-methylquinolinium) is a synthetic small-molecule NNMT inhibitor investigated in controlled laboratory research for its role in NAD⁺ metabolism, methylation balance, and cellular energy regulation. NNMT (nicotinamide N-methyltransferase) is an enzyme expressed across metabolically active tissues including adipose, liver, and skeletal muscle. By limiting NNMT’s consumption of nicotinamide, 5-Amino-1MQ preserves substrate availability for NAD⁺ biosynthesis, making it a compound of interest in research examining metabolic pathway modulation, fat cell signaling, and longevity-associated enzyme activity.
