5-AMINO-1MQ

Molecular Formula: C₁₀H₁₁N₂

Description: 5-Amino-1-methylquinolinium is a small molecule methyltransferase inhibitor that targets nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT). In laboratory research, it is utilized to study the modulation of intracellular NAD+ levels and the regulation of energy metabolism within white adipose tissue. Studies focus on its ability to inhibit NNMT, thereby influencing metabolic rate and the efficiency of cellular energy expenditure in experimental models.
