Reported applications include NNMT enzyme inhibition assays measuring 1-methylnicotinamide formation or S-adenosylhomocysteine release, intracellular target-engagement assays in differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes where 5-Amino-1MQ reduced intracellular 1-methylnicotinamide with an EC near 2.3 M (Neelakantan et al., Biochem Pharmacol, 2018), membrane permeability and Caco-2 transport characterisation, methyltransferase selectivity panels covering COMT, DNMT1 and PRMT3, and rodent studies of NNMT inhibition in adipose tissue and liver following the antisense knockdown work of Kraus and colleagues (Nature, 2014)
5-Amino-1MQ 5-Amino-1MQ is a small-molecule compound and NNMT inhibitor available in lyophilized form for laboratory research
In summary, these findings reveal a previously unrecognized miR-29b-3p-mediated regulatory circuit linking Gln availability to GGCT expression
Glutathione is one of the bodys most important antioxidants, helping protect cells from oxidative stress while supporting normal detoxification pathways and overall wellness
