Description

5-Amino-1-methylquinolinium (5-Amino-1MQ) is a selective, membrane-permeable small molecule inhibitor of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT). This compound has gained research attention for its role in cellular metabolism, NAD+ preservation, and energy production. By targeting NNMT activity, 5-Amino-1MQ influences metabolic pathways that affect fat storage, energy utilization, and cellular longevity mechanisms.

Key Benefits
Research applications and potential benefits
  • Inhibition of NNMT enzyme activity to support metabolic function
  • Preservation and enhancement of intracellular NAD+ levels
  • Support for efficient cellular energy production
  • Reduction in lipogenesis (fat formation) in adipocytes
  • Activation of SIRT-1 gene pathways associated with longevity
  • Enhanced mitochondrial function and metabolic rate
  • Support for DNA repair mechanisms through NAD+ availability
Mechanism of Action
How this peptide works

5-Amino-1MQ works by selectively binding to the nicotinamide-binding site of NNMT, effectively blocking its enzymatic activity. NNMT normally converts nicotinamide (a form of vitamin B3) into N-methylnicotinamide, which depletes cellular NAD+ pools. By inhibiting NNMT, 5-Amino-1MQ preserves NAD+ levels, which are crucial for mitochondrial function, DNA repair, and activation of sirtuins (longevity proteins). This inhibition also reduces fat cell size, decreases inflammation in adipose tissue, and enhances overall metabolic efficiency.
