5-AMINO-1MQ

Description

5-Amino-1MQ is a small molecule compound researched for its ability to inhibit the enzyme NNMT (nicotinamide N-methyltransferase), which plays a role in regulating metabolism and NAD⁺ availability. By blocking NNMT activity, 5-Amino-1MQ may help increase cellular energy production, improve metabolic efficiency, and reduce fat accumulation. Early studies suggest it can decrease the size of fat cells and enhance overall energy expenditure.
