| Attribute | BAM15 | 5-Amino-1MQ |
|---|---|---|
| Category | Weight Loss | Weight Loss |
| Research Stage | Preclinical | Preclinical |
| Mechanism of Action | BAM15 functions as a mitochondrial protonophore, meaning it carries protons (H+) across the inner mitochondrial membrane in a way that dissipates the proton gradient that mitochondria normally use to drive ATP synthesis. Under normal conditions, the electron… | 5-Amino-1MQ works by inhibiting nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), an enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of a methyl group from S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) to the nitrogen of nicotinamide (vitamin B3 amide), producing 1-methylnicotinamide (1-MNA) and… |
| Half-Life | — | ~6–12 hours (oral) |
| Typical Dose Range | Research compound — no established human doses. Animal studies use 10-100 mg/kg | 50 mg - 150 mg daily (oral or injection) |
| Dosing Frequency | — | Once daily oral |
| Administration | — | Oral |
| Side Effects | Because no human trials of BAM15 have been conducted, the side effect profile is reconstructed from rodent toxicology, in vitro cellular data, and a small number of self-reports from people who have obtained the compound from research-chemical vendors. The… | The side effect profile of 5-amino-1MQ in humans is not documented because there are no human clinical trials. Rodent studies report generally good tolerability at doses producing metabolic and muscle benefits, without obvious signs of hepatotoxicity,… |
