Description

5-Amino-1MQ is a small-molecule research compound that has been studied for its role in metabolic regulation. It is known to inhibit the enzyme nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), which is predominantly active in adipose (fat) tissue and involved in cellular energy balance. By inhibiting NNMT, research suggests 5-Amino-1MQ may influence intracellular NAD⁺ pathways and downstream metabolic signalling processes associated with energy utilisation and fat metabolism. Due to its mechanism of action, it has attracted interest in research settings focused on body composition and metabolic function.
