5-Amino-1MQ

5-Amino-1MQ (5-amino-1-methylquinolinium) is a cell-permeable, small-molecule quinolinium derivative. In laboratory and in-vitro settings, this compound is extensively investigated as a selective, substrate-competitive inhibitor of the enzyme nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT). According to research cataloged in the National Library of Medicine, inhibiting NNMT with 5-Amino-1MQ prevents the depletion of intracellular NAD+ stores, making it a critical tool for studying cellular energy metabolism, mitochondrial biogenesis, and metabolic regulatory pathways.
