5-Amino-1MQ is a small-molecule research inhibitor of NNMT, an enzyme involved in nicotinamide

00:00:05,875 --> 00:00:10,958
metabolism. It is not a peptide, despite frequent grouping with peptides.

00:00:10,958 --> 00:00:17,625
Researchers studied related compounds in laboratory assays and fat cells, then tested 5-Amino-1MQ in mice

00:00:17,625 --> 00:00:21,125
with obesity induced by a high-fat diet.

00:00:21,125 --> 00:00:28,583
The short mouse experiment reported lower body weight and fat mass without a measured reduction in food

00:00:28,583 --> 00:00:32,083
intake. These findings support further investigation.

They do not establish effective weight management in people.

8
00:00:36,333 --> 00:00:42,208
Human exposure, patient-important outcomes and longer-term safety require direct testing of the exact

compound.
