5-Amino-1MQ
Small-molecule NNMT inhibitor studied for adipocyte metabolism, NAD+ salvage, and body-composition research.
5-Amino-1MQ is one of the most searched-for names in metabolism and body-composition research — the small molecule labs reach for when the question is about fat cells, cellular energy, and the NAD+ that powers them. It works by blocking NNMT (nicotinamide N-methyltransferase), an enzyme sitting at the crossroads of fat-cell metabolism and the cell's NAD+ supply. Preclinical studies have examined how inhibiting it affects adipocyte behaviour, NAD+ salvage, and energy metabolism in research models.
Unlike the peptides in this catalogue, 5-Amino-1MQ is a small quinolinium molecule rather than an amino-acid chain, which is why it is studied and handled a little differently.
