Flashcards: Thiamine

Thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP or ThPP), or thiamine diphosphate (ThDP), or cocarboxylase is a thiamine (vitamin B1) derivative which is produced by the enzyme thiamine diphosphokinase.

Wernicke–Korsakoff syndrome (WKS) is the combined presence of Wernicke's encephalopathy (WE) and Korsakoff's syndrome.

Allithiamine, or thiamine allyl disulfide (TAD, is a lipid-soluble form of vitamin B1 which occurs naturally in garlic (Allium sativum). It was investigated as a dietary supplement to enhance muscle performance in sports, but does not seem to have been marketed.

Sulbutiamine (brand name: Arcalion) is a synthetic derivative of thiamine (vitamin B1).

Adenosine thiamine triphosphate (AThTP), or thiaminylated adenosine triphosphate, is a natural thiamine adenine nucleotide.

Thiamine triphosphate (ThTP) is a biomolecule found in most organisms including bacteria, fungi, plants and animals.

Beriberi refers to a cluster of symptoms caused primarily by thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency.

Acefurtiamine (INN) is a vitamin B1 analog in a manner similar to the GABAergic activity of the thiamine derivative clomethiazole.

Octotiamine (INN, JAN; Gerostop, Neuvita, Neuvitan), also known as thioctothiamine, is an analogue of vitamin B1 which is used in Japan and Finland.

Adenosine thiamine diphosphate (AThDP), or thiaminylated adenosine diphosphate (ADP) is a natural thiamine adenine nucleotide.

Thiamine monophosphate is a thiamine derivative.

Prosultiamine (Alinamin, Binova, Jubedel, Taketron, Thiobeta, Thiotiamina), also known as thiamine propyl disulfide (TPD), is a disulfide thiamine derivative developed in Japan in the 1950s as a treatment for vitamin B1 deficiency.

Wernicke's encephalopathy (or Wernicke's disease) refers to the presence of neurological symptoms caused by biochemical lesions of the central nervous system after exhaustion of B-vitamin reserves, in particular thiamine (vitamin B1).

Benfotiamine (rINN, or S-benzoylthiamine O-monophosphate) is a synthetic S-acyl derivative of thiamine (vitamin B1).

Fursultiamine (INN; Adventan, Alinamin-F, Benlipoid, Bevitol Lipophil, Judolor), also known as thiamine tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide (TTFD), is a disulfide derivative of thiamine, or an allithiamine.
