Description
5-Amino-1MQ is a synthetic small-molecule inhibitor of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT). It is studied for its role in regulating fat metabolism, increasing cellular NAD+ availability, and supporting metabolic health. Research interest includes weight management, energy balance, and healthy aging.
Benefits
- Weight management — studied for reducing fat cell size and improving body composition.
- NAD+ metabolism — explored for boosting NAD+ salvage pathway efficiency.
- Energy support — linked to greater mitochondrial function and cellular energy.
- Metabolic health — interest in glucose regulation and insulin sensitivity.
- Healthy aging — studied in the context of metabolic slowdown and fat accumulation with age.
What researchers look at
- Mechanism: NNMT inhibition leading to improved NAD+ salvage pathway efficiency.
- Preclinical studies showing reduction of white adipose tissue mass.
- Role in obesity and metabolic syndrome research.
- Exploration of longevity and healthy aging applications.
