Product Description
5-Amino-1MQ | 50mg
Researching Energy, Metabolism, and Longevity
What It Does
5-Amino-1MQ is being studied for its role in preserving NAD, a key molecule involved in cellular energy production. By inhibiting NNMT, this compound may help cells recycle energy more efficiently, making it a growing area of interest in metabolism and longevity research.
What Researchers Explore
- Cellular energy production
- Fat metabolism and adipose regulation
- NAD+ support
- Metabolic flexibility
- Longevity-related cellular pathways
Technical Background
5-Amino-1MQ is a selective, membrane-permeable inhibitor of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), an enzyme involved in NAD+ depletion. Preclinical findings suggest it may reduce adipocyte lipogenesis while increasing intracellular NAD+ and activating SIRT1 pathways. In diet-induced obese mice, research has shown reductions in adipose mass and adipocyte size, alongside improved insulin sensitivity and increased energy expenditure.
Common Research Applications
- Obesity and metabolic dysfunction research
- NAD+ metabolism studies
- SIRT1 pathway activation
- Insulin sensitivity research
- White adipose tissue browning
- Mitochondrial energetics
