Biochem/physiol Actions

5-Amino-1-methylquinolinium (5-amino-1MQ) is a substrate site-targeting, selective nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT) inhibitor (IC50 = 1.2 μM; 50 μM SAM, 100 μM NCA) that reduces 3T3-L1 lipogenesis (EC50 = 30μM) and adipocytes 1-methylnicotinamide level (EC50 = 2.3 μM) without affecting related methyltransferases & enzymes in the NAD+ salvage pathway. 5-amino-1MQ shows in vivo therapeutic efficacy in murine models of DIO (20 mg/kg/d sc.), muscle injury (5 or 10 mg/kg bid. sc.), and intraperitoneal HeyA8 ovarian cancer metastasis (20 mg/kg/d ip.) with no adverse effects to the animals (up to 60 mg/kg/d). Note:1.89 mg iodide salt contains 1 mg eq of 5-amino-1MQ.

Nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT) is a fundamental cytosolic biotransforming enzyme that catalyzes the N-methylation of endogenous and exogenous xenobiotics. We have identified small molecule inhibitors of NNMT with >1000-fold range of activity and developed comprehensive structure-activity relationships (SARs) for NNMT inhibitors.

High-grade serous carcinoma has a poor prognosis, owing primarily to its early dissemination throughout the abdominal cavity. Genomic and proteomic approaches have provided snapshots of the proteogenomics of ovarian cancer1,2, but a systematic examination of both the tumour and stromal

There is a critical need for new mechanism-of-action drugs that reduce the burden of obesity and associated chronic metabolic comorbidities. A potentially novel target to treat obesity and type 2 diabetes is nicotinamide-N-methyltransferase (NNMT), a cytosolic enzyme with newly identified

Aging is accompanied by progressive declines in skeletal muscle mass and strength and impaired regenerative capacity, predisposing older adults to debilitating age-related muscle deteriorations and severe morbidity. Muscle stem cells (muSCs) that proliferate, differentiate to fusion-competent myoblasts, and facilitate muscle
