5-Amino-1MQ is a small-molecule inhibitor of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT) in injectable lyophilized form. By blocking NNMT activity, it increases NAD+ levels and shifts metabolic pathways toward greater energy expenditure. The injectable format enables precise dosing for controlled metabolic research protocols.

Research Applications
- Metabolic Research: 5-Amino-1MQ is studied as a small-molecule inhibitor of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), an enzyme that regulates cellular energy metabolism by methylating NAD+ precursors. Research examines how NNMT inhibition increases NAD+ levels, activates sirtuin longevity pathways, and shifts cellular metabolism from energy storage toward energy expenditure. Studies investigate the dose-response relationship and tissue-specific effects of NNMT inhibition.
- Obesity Science: 5-Amino-1MQ is studied for its ability to reprogram adipose tissue metabolism through NAD+ salvage pathway activation. Research demonstrates reduced adipocyte lipid accumulation, increased basal metabolic rate, and reversal of diet-induced obesity in animal models without changes in food intake. Studies examine the mechanisms linking NNMT inhibition to adipose tissue remodeling and whole-body energy balance.
- Epigenetics: 5-Amino-1MQ is studied for its effects on methylation pathway dynamics and metabolic gene regulation. By inhibiting NNMT, it alters the balance of S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) and nicotinamide metabolism, affecting DNA methylation patterns and histone modifications that regulate metabolic gene expression. Research examines these epigenetic consequences and their implications for metabolic disease and cellular aging.
- Pharmacology: 5-Amino-1MQ serves as a lead compound in NNMT inhibitor drug development. Research profiles its selectivity for NNMT over other methyltransferases, its oral bioavailability, tissue distribution, and metabolic stability. Studies compare its activity against other NNMT inhibitor scaffolds to establish structure-activity relationships and optimize pharmacological properties for potential therapeutic development.
