General description

Pyrithiamine hydrobromide is a heterocyclic building block that is used as a valuable tool in organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry due to its ability to mimic thiamine deficiency and its potential for the development of new compounds with useful pharmacological properties.

Application

Pyrithiamine hydrobromide can be used as a precursor for the synthesis pyrithiamine pyrophosphate.

Thiamine deficiency provides an effective model of selective neuronal cell death. (1)H and (13)C-NMR was used to investigate the effects of thiamine deficiency on the synthesis of amino acids derived from [1-(13)C]glucose in vulnerable (medial thalamus; MT) compared to non-vulnerable

A rodent model of diencephalic amnesia, pyrithiamine-induced thiamine deficiency (PTD), was used to investigate the dynamic role of hippocampal and striatal acetylcholine (ACh) efflux across acquisition of a nonmatching-to-position (NMTP) T-maze task. Changes in ACh efflux were measured in rats
