5-Amino-1MQ (5-Amino-1-methylquinolinium) is a small, selective, membrane-permeable molecule that functions as a potent inhibitor of the enzyme nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT). It is widely researched for its role in cellular metabolism, specifically its ability to increase intracellular NAD+ levels and stimulate energy expenditure in adipose tissue. Preclinical research focuses on its potential for reversing metabolic-related weight gain and enhancing muscle contractile function.
