DESCRIPTION

5-Amino-1MQ is a targeted membrane-permeable small molecule developed to selectively inhibit nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT). By blocking NNMT activity in cytosolic pathways, the compound prevents the methylation of nicotinamide, preserving cellular S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) levels and elevating intracellular NAD+ pools in experimental metabolic models.

BENEFITS (RESEARCH FOCUS)

  • NNMT Enzymatic Blockade: Evaluated for reducing 1-methylnicotinamide (1-MNA) formation and maintaining cellular methyl donor balance.
  • Cellular Energy Regulation: Investigated in metabolic assays for modulating basal metabolic flux and NAD+/NADH ratios.
  • Adipocyte Signaling: Researched in diet-induced obesity models for its effects on lipid homeostasis and fat cell differentiation.

WHAT RESEARCHERS LOOK AT

  • Intracellular NAD+ and SAM concentration dynamics
  • 1-MNA metabolite generation rate in adipocyte cell cultures
  • Expression of lipogenic and oxidative metabolic gene markers

QUICK SPECS

  • Form: Lyophilized solid (fine white powder)
  • Purity: >99% (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography)
  • Packaging: 1 sealed glass vial
  • Grade: High-purity laboratory research compound
  • Reconstitution: Dilute with sterile laboratory solvent or bacteriostatic water
  • Storage: Store refrigerated at 2-8 deg C, protected from light and humidity
