Description

General description

Thiamine is a water-soluble vitamin-B complex. Structurally, it possesses a five-membered thiazolium ring and a six-membered amino-pyrimidine ring connected by a methyl group. Thiamine is naturally available in fruits, vegetables, poultry, eggs.

Application

Thiamine hydrochloride has been used as a vitamin supplement to the holidic medium and in bacterial growth medium.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Thiamine is an essential coenzyme in carbohydrate metabolism. Deficiency of thiamine causes beriberi, a neurological and cardiovascular disease. Thiamine is administered in case of deficiency, either due to reduced intake or synthesis. Congenital defect in the thiamine transporter gene SLC19A2 causes thiamine-responsive megaloblastic anemia syndrome (TRMA). Thiamine mimics acetylcholine in brain and possible exerts a role in Alzheimer′s disease. Thiamine deficiency in ruminants causes polioencephalomalacia.
