Mechanism of Action

Molecular interaction profile describing how this research material engages receptor systems and influences downstream biological signaling pathways.

Published biochemical and cell-based studies describe 5-Amino-1MQ as an inhibitor of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), an enzyme that transfers a methyl group from S-adenosylmethionine to nicotinamide. Experimental NNMT inhibition has been used to study changes in 1-methylnicotinamide, NAD+, SAM, lipogenesis, and related metabolic pathways. These findings are preclinical and do not establish human safety or efficacy.
