| Attribute | 5-Amino-1MQ | AOD-9604 |
|---|---|---|
| Category | Metabolic / Fat Loss | Metabolic / Fat Loss |
| Evidence Rating | D — Animal/Preclinical Only | C — Phase I–II Clinical Trials |
| Clinical Status | Preclinical only. No IND filed. No human clinical trials registered as of 2026. | Clinical development discontinued after Phase 2; GRAS status for food use |
| Mechanism | Selectively inhibits NNMT, an enzyme highly expressed in white adipose tissue that catalyzes the methylation of nicotinamide using S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) as a methyl donor. NNMT inhibition increases intracellular NAD+ and SAM concentrations. In diet-induced obese mice, NNMT inhibitors reduced bo... | AOD-9604 (C78H123N23O23S2) works through a dual-action mechanism: it accelerates breakdown of stored fat (lipolysis) via cAMP signaling and enzymatic activation (stimulating hormone-sensitive lipase), while simultaneously blocking formation of new fat (lipogenesis). It stimulates lipolysis in a mann... |
