Metabolite Identification
Common NameThiamine
DescriptionThiamine, also known as vitamin B1 or aneurin, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as thiamines. Thiamines are compounds containing a thiamine moiety, which is structurally characterized by a 3-[(4-Amino-2-methyl-pyrimidin-5-yl)methyl]-4-methyl-thiazol-5-yl backbone. Thiamine is a drug which is used for the treatment of thiamine and niacin deficiency states, korsakov's alcoholic psychosis, wernicke-korsakov syndrome, delirium, and peripheral neuritis. Thiamine exists as a solid, possibly soluble (in water), and a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa) molecule. Thiamine exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. In cattle, thiamine is involved in the metabolic pathway called the valine, leucine, and isoleucine degradation pathway. Thiamine is a potentially toxic compound.
