Metabolic Research and Longevity Science.
5-Amino-1MQ (5-amino-1-methylquinolinium) is a small-molecule selective inhibitor of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), an enzyme that consumes intracellular methyl donors and influences adipocyte metabolism. It is studied for its effects on energy homeostasis in adipose tissue.
By inhibiting NNMT, 5-Amino-1MQ preserves S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) and nicotinamide pools, restoring methylation capacity and elevating NAD+ availability in adipocytes. Preclinical work suggests this shifts energy balance toward lipolysis and away from lipogenesis.
