5 Amino-1mq

5-Amino-1MQ (5-amino-1-methylquinolinium) is a small-molecule research compound that has drawn major interest for its role in metabolism and NAD+ biology. It acts as a selective inhibitor of NNMT (nicotinamide N-methyltransferase) — an enzyme that is highly active in fat tissue and closely tied to how the body stores energy.

By inhibiting NNMT, 5-Amino-1MQ helps preserve nicotinamide for recycling into NAD+ — a coenzyme central to cellular energy production — while shifting cellular metabolism away from fat storage and toward energy expenditure. In preclinical research, this mechanism has been associated with reduced fat accumulation, improved glucose and metabolic markers, and increased energy output, placing it among the most discussed compounds in metabolic and longevity research.

To date, the evidence for 5-Amino-1MQ comes exclusively from laboratory (in vitro) and animal studies; no human clinical trials have been published. Supplied strictly for laboratory research use only, with third-party analytical testing and a batch-specific Certificate of Analysis available. Not for human consumption.
