5-Amino-1MQ – Research Grade Compound

Lyophilised Powder | ≥99% Purity

5-Amino-1MQ is a synthetically manufactured research compound supplied as a high-purity lyophilised powder. It is characterised as a small-molecule nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT) inhibitor analogue and is supplied strictly for laboratory and analytical research applications.

Research Context

5-Amino-1MQ is currently studied in laboratory environments for its interaction with nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), an enzyme involved in cellular methylation and metabolic regulation.

NNMT catalyses the transfer of a methyl group from S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) to nicotinamide, producing 1-methylnicotinamide (1-MNA) and influencing several metabolic pathways.

In experimental models, inhibition of NNMT has been investigated for its potential role in metabolic signalling, cellular energy balance, and NAD⁺ salvage pathway regulation.

Research interest in this class of compounds primarily focuses on understanding:

• Enzymatic regulation of nicotinamide metabolism
• Cellular methylation and NAD⁺ salvage pathways
• Metabolic signalling related to energy expenditure
• Biochemical pathways involved in adipose tissue metabolism

Any reference to enzymatic activity or biological mechanisms is provided strictly for scientific context within research settings.
