Description:
5-Amino-1MQ is a small-molecule experimental compound that functions as a methyltransferase inhibitor, particularly targeting nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT). This enzyme plays a role in regulating cellular energy metabolism, making 5-Amino-1MQ a focus of research into obesity, metabolic disorders, and age-related energy decline. By modulating NNMT activity, 5-Amino-1MQ may influence NAD⁺ levels and energy balance in experimental models.
