5-Amino-1MQ

5-Amino-1MQ (5-amino-1-methylquinolinium) is a selective NNMT inhibitor (nicotinamide N-methyltransferase). NNMT plays an important role in fat and energy metabolism. In preclinical research, 5-Amino-1MQ is used to investigate NNMT inhibition and its metabolic consequences.

Research areas for 5-Amino-1MQ (NNMT inhibitor)

NNMT inhibition & epigenetics research

NNMT inhibition increases cellular SAM availability, affecting methylation reactions and epigenetic regulatory mechanisms.

Metabolism & adipocyte research

In adipocyte models, 5-Amino-1MQ is studied in relation to lipolysis, mitochondrial biogenesis and the transition from white to beige/brown adipose tissue.

NAD+ metabolism research

NNMT inhibition affects NAD+ balance through altered methylation rates — relevant to research models of cellular energy homeostasis and longevity.
