5-Amino-1MQ is an experimental small-molecule metabolic compound and selective inhibitor of the enzyme nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT). By blocking NNMT, it preserves NAD+ precursors and shifts fat cells toward oxidation, making it a subject of preclinical research for obesity, metabolic flexibility, and cellular energy.
What the Science Says
NNMT consumes nicotinamide (a building block for NAD+) and uses S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) to methylate it for disposal. This process is often elevated in the visceral fat tissue of obese subjects.
- Mechanism: By inhibiting NNMT, 5-Amino-1MQ prevents this "methyl drain" and helps maintain a cell's NAD+ reserves and methylation balance.
