Mitochondrial & MetabolicResearch Use Only

Also known as: 5-amino-1-methylquinolinium, NNMT inhibitor

5-Amino-1MQ is a small-molecule research compound commonly referenced in metabolic research literature as an inhibitor of the enzyme nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT). Studies describe interest in NNMT inhibition in relation to cellular NAD+ handling and adipocyte metabolism. It is a research compound rather than an approved therapeutic.
