Research Data
Mechanisms of Action
Data presented from peer-reviewed in vitro studies. All findings are laboratory observations only.
Neelakantan et al. demonstrated that selective NNMT inhibition by 5-Amino-1MQ increased intracellular NAD+ by 30%, activated SIRT1 by 44%, and reduced adipocyte size by 28% in vitro — while reducing body weight by 20% in a high-fat diet mouse model over 10 weeks.
5-Amino-1MQ inhibits NNMT (Nicotinamide N-methyltransferase) — the enzyme that consumes SAM-e and NAD+ precursors in adipose tissue. Inhibition increases intracellular NAD+ by ~30%, activates SIRT1, and promotes fat cell shrinkage with metabolic rate elevation in preclinical models.

Comparative Activity Profile
In Vitro Safety Data
5-Amino-1MQ is a selective NNMT inhibitor with confirmed oral bioavailability. All published safety data derives from in vitro adipocyte cultures and rodent models — no human clinical trials have been completed.
Observed Adverse Indicators
Cytotoxicity in vitro
NoneOff-target methyltransferase
NoneSAM-e pathway modulation
ExpectedHepatotoxicity markers
None⚠️ Theoretical Concern
All published 5-Amino-1MQ efficacy and safety data is from in vitro cell culture and rodent models. Researchers should note the absence of human pharmacokinetic or safety data in study design and interpretation.
Researcher Reference
NNMT catalyses the methylation of nicotinamide using SAM-e (S-adenosylmethionine) as the methyl donor, producing 1-methylnicotinamide. This reaction depletes both SAM-e and the nicotinamide pool available for NAD+ synthesis. Inhibiting NNMT redirects nicotinamide back into NAD+ biosynthesis via NAMPT.
NMN and NR are NAD+ precursors — they provide substrate for synthesis. 5-Amino-1MQ works upstream by blocking the enzyme that consumes the same substrate pool. This makes them potentially complementary: 5-Amino-1MQ reduces NAD+ precursor consumption while NMN/NR increases precursor supply.
Capsules: Room temperature 15–25°C, away from moisture and light, up to 24 months. Do not refrigerate.
