Brief Introduction

"5-Amino-1MQ (NNMTi)" is a peptide that can increase the body's energy and is effective for fat burning and fat breakdown. The reason why "5-Amino-1MQ" is effective for dieting is that it can increase the concentration of NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide), and NAD is an indispensable substance for maintaining cell health and functions in the body. NNMTi is an effective inhibitor of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT) (IC50=1.2μM), and can selectively bind to residues at the NNMT substrate binding site. NNMTi can promote the differentiation of myoblasts in vitro and enhance the fusion and regeneration ability of muscle stem cells in aged mice.

Preparation method

5-Amino-1Mq is a small molecule inhibitor of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), which has been widely studied in recent years. Regarding the preparation of this substance, there are mainly two synthetic methods mentioned in the current literature: One is the direct reaction of 5-Aminoquinoline with Iodomethane in Isopropyl alcohol. The disadvantage of this reaction is the low yield. Another one is the reaction of 5-Aminoquinoline and Iodomethane to form 5-Amino-1Mq, which is then obtained through reduction with iron powder. The disadvantage of this reaction is that the product extraction is difficult, and the amount of wastewater is huge, causing serious environmental pollution. Therefore, it is particularly important to explore a synthetic process that is green, environmentally friendly, easy to operate, economical and safe.

In view of the deficiencies of the existing technology, the present invention provides a synthesis process of 5-Amino-1Mq, including the following steps: Add 5-Aminoquinoline and the reaction solvent to the reactor and stir; Dissolve Iodomethane in the reaction solvent, add it dropwise to the reactor. After the dropwise addition is completed, increase the temperature and maintain the reaction temperature, then cool down and continue to stir, filter, and rinse the filter cake with a small amount of the reaction solvent. After purifying the filter cake, it was washed and dried to obtain a reddish-brown solid. In this invention, the target product was obtained through the direct reaction of 5-Aminoquinoline and Iodomethane. By optimizing the reaction conditions, the content of the target product in the reaction system was increased, and the purification conditions of the product were explored. Make the purity of 5-Amino-1Mq possibly reach more than 99%.

Obesity is a serious and increasingly serious global health problem, and there are few effective treatment methods. The study investigated the metabolic and physiological benefits of the combination of 5-Amino-1Mq (NNMTi) treatment and dietary replacement in diet-induced obese mice. Compared with simply improving the diet, 5-Amino-1Mq treatment combined with dietary replacement can accelerate and improve weight and fat loss, increase the ratio of lean body mass to body weight, reduce the weight of white adipose tissue in the liver and epididymis, reduce liver obesity, and improve liver steatosis through individual replacement. Importantly, the combination of the two can normalize body composition and liver obesity parameters. 5-Amino-1Mq treatment has produced unique metabolomic characteristics in adipose tissue, mainly increasing the abundance of ketogenic amino acids and changes in metabolites related to energy metabolism pathways. All in all, the regulation of body weight, obesity, liver physiology and adipose tissue metabolome by 5-Amino-1Mq treatment strongly supports it as a promising treatment approach for obesity and obesity-induced complications.

Furthermore, 5-Amino-1Mq (NNMTi) can also enhance strength and promote the regenerative ability of aging muscles, thereby providing a promising treatment method for sarcopenia. Studies have shown that 5-Amino-1Mq treatment can not only promote the quantifiable improvement of lipid content in muscle cells, but also significantly increase gastrocnemius muscle fibers when combined with exercise. Drugs based on 5-Amino-1Mq, whether used alone or in combination with exercise, will be beneficial for the treatment of sarcopenia and various age-related myopathies.​​​​​​​
