What it is

5-Amino-1MQ is a small molecule (not a peptide) studied as an inhibitor of the enzyme NNMT (nicotinamide N-methyltransferase), which is linked to fat-cell metabolism and cellular NAD⁺ handling.

Proposed mechanism

By inhibiting NNMT, it is proposed in animal/cell models to raise cellular NAD⁺ and shift adipocyte energy metabolism toward fat breakdown.¹ This is a preclinical hypothesis, not a demonstrated human effect.

State of the evidence

Preclinical (rodent/cell) only; no human trials establishing efficacy or safety.

Regulatory & status

Not FDA-approved; sold RUO.

Reconstitution (reference only)

Lab-handling reference only — not a preparation or dosing instruction: 2 mL (200 units) reconstitution solution per 10 mg vial. See the reconstitution calculator for the arithmetic. This page does not provide dosing guidance.
