5-Amino-1MQ inhibits NNMT activity, preserving nicotinamide for NAD+ synthesis and preserving SAM for epigenetic methylation producing a metabolic state in pre-clinical models that has been described as functionally resembling caloric restriction or elevated physical activity at the cellular level

In granulosa cells of women with endometriosis, elevated lipid peroxidation markers such as malondialdehyde (MDA) and 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) have been observed, accompanied by decreased glutathione (GSH) and glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPx4), key inhibitors of ferroptosis ( Ferroptosis exerts a double-edged effect in endometriosis: while it damages ovarian granulosa cells, oocytes, and embryosdisrupting oocyte maturation, decreasing oocyte retrieval rates, and impairing embryonic developmentit also promotes ectopic lesion growth through downstream signaling pathways that enhance angiogenesis and inflammation ( Therapeutically, ferroptosis inducers can promote lipid ROS accumulation and endometriotic cell death but may exacerbate granulosa cell damage, while ferroptosis inhibitors protect granulosa cells against oxidative damage
