5-Amino-1MQ (often referenced as 50am or 5-amino-1-methylquinolinium) is a small molecule research compound studied for its potential to boost metabolism and reduce fat cell size by inhibiting the NNMT enzyme. [
What is 5-Amino-1MQ?
Classification: It is a small charged molecule, not a true peptide, though it is frequently sold alongside research peptides in 50mg vials or capsules.
Mechanism: It blocks nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), an enzyme found at high levels in fat tissue.
Cellular Energy: By inhibiting NNMT, it preserves a vitamin B3 form that helps raise cellular NAD+ levels, which encourages fat cells to burn energy more like lean tissue
