OkHow 5-AMINO-1MQ Works

5-AMINO-1MQ is a highly selective, membrane-permeable small molecule inhibitor of Nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), a cytosolic enzyme that plays a critical role in cellular energy regulation and fat metabolism. By binding to and blocking NNMT activity, this compound prevents the methylation of nicotinamide, which directly preserves intracellular nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide  S-adenosylmethionine levels. In laboratory research models, this metabolic upregulation forces cells to increase their overall energy expenditure, downregulate fat storage genes, and significantly enhance cellular efficiency without altering caloric intake.
