5-Amino-1MQ 50mg / 60 Count Capsules

Research Overview

5-Amino-1MQ is a cell-permeable quinolinium compound that selectively inhibits nicotinamide N-methyltransferase, an enzyme highly expressed in adipose tissue that consumes nicotinamide and S-adenosyl methionine. By inhibiting NNMT, investigators observe increased intracellular nicotinamide availability, which feeds the NAD+ salvage pathway and modulates sirtuin-dependent signaling within adipocytes. Preclinical literature has examined this axis in relation to adipocyte size, lipolytic activity, and whole-body energy expenditure in rodent models of diet-induced obesity. Because NNMT sits at the intersection of methylation capacity and NAD+ homeostasis, the compound is a useful chemical probe for dissecting metabolic regulation independent of receptor agonism. Laboratory applications include adipocyte culture assays, NAD+ quantification studies, enzyme-inhibition kinetics, and comparative metabolic profiling.
