5-Amino-1MQ — molecular reference
5-Amino-1MQ (5-amino-1-methylquinoline) is a small-molecule inhibitor of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT) used in cellular metabolic research. By blocking NNMT, researchers study NAD+ salvage flux, methyl-donor balance, and energy-expenditure-related signaling in cultured adipocyte, hepatocyte, and myocyte models. Supplied as a lyophilized powder for dissolution in an appropriate solvent. For laboratory research use only — not for human or veterinary use.
