Quick Summary
NNMT inhibitor — targets stubborn fat by restoring cellular energy metabolism
Also called: 5-amino-1-methylquinolinium
What is 5-Amino-1MQ?
5-Amino-1MQ is a small molecule inhibitor of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), an enzyme overexpressed in fat tissue that contributes to obesity and metabolic dysfunction. By blocking NNMT, 5-Amino-1MQ restores NAD+ levels in fat cells, reactivates cellular energy metabolism, and promotes fat cell shrinkage. It represents a novel approach to body composition optimization that works at the metabolic enzyme level rather than through appetite suppression or thermogenesis.
How It's Made
5-Amino-1MQ is a synthetic small molecule (not a peptide) produced through organic chemical synthesis. It is a methylquinolinium derivative designed to selectively inhibit the NNMT enzyme.
