5-Amino 1MQ is a research-focused NNMT inhibitor studied for its role in metabolic efficiency, fat regulation, and cellular energy balance. It has gained attention in metabolic and longevity research for its potential to support energy expenditure, glucose handling, and body-composition pathways without altering food intake.

About 5-Amino-1MQ

5-Amino-1MQ is a small-molecule inhibitor of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), studied as a reference compound in nicotinamide metabolism and adipocyte energy-regulation research. Unlike the peptides in this catalogue it is a synthetic quinolinium compound, not an amino-acid sequence.

Documented research applications

Used in vitro and in animal model studies investigating:

• NNMT inhibition and intracellular nicotinamide and NAD+ pools
• Adipocyte metabolic activity and lipid handling in rodent models
• GLUT4 transporter expression and glucose uptake in cultured cells
• Muscle stem cell activity in aged animal models
• Cellular senescence and longevity signalling pathways

Observations described in the literature are reported from cell culture and animal models. They do not describe effects in humans.
