Description
5-Amino-1MQ is a derivative of methylquinolinium. It has garnered significant research interest for its ability to target and inhibit NNMT, a cytosolic enzyme that plays a key role in cellular metabolism and energy homeostasis.
Mechanism of Action
-
NNMT Inhibition: The primary action of 5-Amino-1MQ is to prevent the NNMT enzyme from processing Nicotinamide.
-
NAD+ Flux: By inhibiting this pathway, studies indicate a potential downstream effect of increased NAD+ concentration and sirtuin activation, similar to caloric restriction models.
-
Adipose Tissue: Research is heavily focused on its effects on white fat cell metabolism and potential lipogenesis inhibition.
Quality Assurance
-
Chemical Name: 5-amino-1-methylquinolin-1-ium
-
Purity: >98% Verified by HPLC/MS
