1-Methylnicotinamide (1-MNA, trigonellamide) is a prototypic organic cation. 1-Methylnicotinamide is the methylated amide of Nicotinamide (niacinamide, vitamin B3).

1-Methylnicotinamide is an endogenic substance that is produced in the liver when Nicotinamide is metabolized. It is a typical substance secreted in the kidney. It participates in the nicotinamide salvage pathway within the NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) metabolic pathway, thereby contributing to optimizing NAD+ levels.
