5-Amino-1MQ is a small molecule inhibitor of the enzyme nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT). Research has shown that it has the potential to reverse diet-induced obesity and related type 2 diabetes (T2D) without significant impact on food intake or observable adverse effects.

In vitro studies have demonstrated that 5-amino-1MQ has high cell permeability, enzyme selectivity, and cell culture efficacy. It has also been found to prevent fat accumulation and shrink fat cells, resulting in less fat tissue. The molecule is being explored as a promising and innovative approach in the field of health and wellness, particularly in relation to weight management, muscle health, and overall well-being.
