Catalyst Compounds 5-Amino-1MQ

Description

5-Amino-1MQ is a small-molecule research compound that selectively inhibits nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), an enzyme linked to NAD+ and methylation metabolism. It is used as a probe for metabolic-enzyme study.

Laboratory research has examined NNMT activity, adipocyte metabolism, NAD+ salvage pathways, and cellular energy expenditure in cell and rodent models. Its defined enzymatic target makes it a focused tool for metabolic-pathway investigation.

Intended use: In vitro and preclinical in vivo laboratory research only. Not approved for human or veterinary use.
