5-Amino-1MQ
metabolic compound
5-Amino-1MQ is a potent, selective inhibitor of the enzyme nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), which serves as a critical regulator of cellular energy homeostasis and adipocyte metabolism. By modulating this pathway, it facilitates the preservation of intracellular NAD+ levels to support optimized metabolic function.
Research Areas
Mechanism of Action
It functions by competitively binding to the NNMT enzyme, effectively blocking the methylation of nicotinamide and promoting an increase in intracellular NAD+ availability.
Biological Pathways
Areas of Research Interest
Potential effects under study. Not all are established in humans.
- •NNMT enzyme inhibition
- •Enhanced intracellular NAD+ bioavailability
- •Optimization of adipose tissue metabolic activity
- •Improved systemic metabolic signaling
