5-Amino-1MQ 10 mg — Lyophilized Vial 10 mg · 1 vial

What is 5-Amino-1MQ?

5-Amino-1MQ is a small-molecule research compound, not a peptide. It is investigated as an inhibitor of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase, abbreviated NNMT.

Biological activity

NNMT uses a methyl donor to methylate nicotinamide. Inhibiting the enzyme can affect cellular methylation chemistry and pathways connected with nicotinamide and NAD metabolism. It should not be described as equivalent to supplying NAD+.

Purpose and areas of study

Cell and mouse studies have examined NNMT inhibition in fat-cell metabolism and diet-induced obesity. Researchers use the compound to test how changing this enzyme's activity affects metabolic measurements.

Evidence context

Evidence cited here comes from cellular and mouse models. It does not establish human fat-loss effects; the supplied salt form requires confirmation.

Product presentation

One lyophilized vial. Labeled content: 10 mg.
