5-Amino-1MQ (5-amino-1-methylquinolinium) is a synthetic small molecule studied as an inhibitor of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), an enzyme involved in nicotinamide metabolism and cellular methylation pathways. NNMT catalyzes the methylation of nicotinamide using S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) as a methyl donor.
Laboratory research involving 5-Amino-1MQ has examined NNMT activity, nicotinamide availability, NAD+ metabolism, and associated cellular signaling pathways. These characteristics have made the compound useful for investigating the relationship between NNMT and cellular metabolic processes in experimental models.
5-Amino-1MQ is supplied exclusively for laboratory research and analytical purposes. Not for human or animal consumption. Not intended for diagnostic, therapeutic, or clinical use.
