01

Scientific overview

5-Amino-1MQ is a synthetic small molecule used in experimental research involving nicotinamide N-methyltransferase, cellular methyl-donor metabolism, adipocyte biology, and metabolic regulation.

02

Mechanism under investigation

Proposed to inhibit nicotinamide N-methyltransferase, an enzyme involved in nicotinamide metabolism and methyl-group balance. Downstream effects have been studied in cellular and animal metabolic models.

03

Research evidence summary
