5-Amino-1-Methylquinolinium — NNMT Inhibitor

5-Amino-1-methylquinolinium (5-Amino-1MQ) is a quaternary amine compound that inhibits NNMT, an enzyme responsible for methylating nicotinamide and producing 1-methylnicotinamide. NNMT overexpression in adipose tissue has been associated with obesity-related metabolic dysfunction, as it depletes S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) and reduces NAD+ pools. NNMT inhibition with 5-Amino-1MQ restores SAM availability, increases NAD+ levels, and activates SIRT1 signaling in cell models. For research use only — not for human consumption.
