5-AMINO-1MQ 5 MG

5-Amino-1MQ is a metabolism-focused small molecule used to explore how tweaking cellular NAD⁺ handling can impact fat mass, energy expenditure, and insulin sensitivity. It’s a favorite in the metabolic lab world for studying the intersection of obesity, mitochondrial function, and cellular energetics.

How It Works
5-Amino-1MQ inhibits nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), an enzyme that consumes nicotinamide and reduces its availability for conversion into NAD⁺. Inhibiting NNMT can increase NAD⁺ levels, which enhances activities of NAD⁺-dependent enzymes like sirtuins and potentially improves mitochondrial function and fat oxidation. Preclinical data suggest reductions in adipocyte size and improved metabolic profiles.
