Head-to-head comparison of 5-Amino-1MQ and SR-9011 — mechanism, side effects, legal status, and pricing.
5-Amino-1MQ is a small heterocyclic molecule (not a peptide) that acts as a selective, membrane-permeable inhibitor of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT). It is under preclinical investigation for obesity and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. It is not FDA-approved and has not completed human clinical trials; it is commonly tracked alongside peptides because grey-market vendors sell it for metabolic protocols.
SR-9011 is a synthetic small-molecule REV-ERB (Rev-erbα/β) agonist — not a peptide — studied preclinically as a circadian/metabolic modulator. It has no human data of any kind, no regulatory approval, and is WADA-prohibited at all times. Note: it is frequently confused with "Stenabolic," which is properly its analog SR9009, not SR-9011.

Neelakantan et al. (2018, Biochem Pharmacol, PMID 29155147) reported that 5-Amino-1MQ and related selective, membrane-permeable methylquinolinium NNMT inhibitors reversed high-fat-diet-induced obesity in mice, reducing body weight, white adipose mass, adipocyte size, and plasma cholesterol without changing food intake. A separate NNMT inhibitor program (Kannt et al., 2018, Sci Rep, PMID 29483571, JBSNF-000088) produced similar metabolic effects in rodents. Dimet-Wiley et al. (2022, Sci Rep, PMID 35013352) reported microbiome changes with NNMT inhibition plus low-fat diet in DIO mice, and Babula et al. (2024, Diabetes Obes Metab, PMID 39161060) showed 5A1MQ dose-dependently limited weight and fat gain and reduced NAFLD-like liver pathology in DIO mice. No human clinical trials of 5-Amino-1MQ have been completed or published as of 2026; grey-market oral protocols are not clinically validated.
Key references
In diet-induced obese mice (intraperitoneal dosing), SR-9011/SR9009 increased energy expenditure, reduced fat mass, and improved dyslipidemia and hyperglycemia (Solt et al., Nature 2012). Human liver microsome work identified 14 metabolites but no half-life, and the authors caution against human extrapolation. There are no registered human trials of SR-9011; no human safety, dose, or pharmacokinetic data exist.
Key references
5-Amino-1MQ and SR-9011 are both in the Metabolic category and may have overlapping mechanisms. Researchers should review both profiles carefully, understand the mechanisms of action, and monitor the relevant biomarkers when combining compounds in the same class. As always, consult a licensed healthcare provider before making any decisions about combining research compounds.
