Description:
5-Amino-1MQ is a small-molecule nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT) inhibitor studied for its role in regulating cellular metabolism and methylation balance. NNMT catalyzes the methylation of nicotinamide, consuming S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) and reducing NAD⁺ availability. By inhibiting NNMT, 5-Amino-1MQ has been shown in research models to elevate NAD⁺ levels, enhance mitochondrial function, and support methyl donor conservation.

Experimental studies have utilized 5-Amino-1MQ to investigate pathways linked to energy expenditure, lipid metabolism, and insulin sensitivity. Its modulation of methylation-dependent cellular processes makes it a useful compound for exploring metabolic dysregulation and aging-related mechanisms.
