A closer look
The details
behind the compound.
Overview
5-Amino-1MQ is a small-molecule methylquinolinium derivative — not a peptide — supplied as the iodide salt. It was rationally designed at the University of Texas Medical Branch as a membrane-permeable, selective inhibitor of the enzyme nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT).
It is a focused reference for metabolic laboratory work, studied for its interaction with NNMT and downstream NAD-related pathways.
