Thiamine chloride CAS#59-43-8

Vitamin B1, alternatively referred to as "thiamine" or "thiamine hydrochloride," represents one of the essential B-complex vitamins. This nutrient plays a crucial role in facilitating proper carbohydrate metabolism and serves as a vital component for maintaining healthy neurological transmission, cardiac function, and digestive processes. When combined with adenosine triphosphate, it forms vitamin B1 pyrophosphate (thiamine diphosphate, also known as cocarboxylase), which acts as an indispensable coenzyme in carbohydrate metabolism. 

Deficiency of this coenzyme disrupts oxidative metabolism, causing accumulation of pyruvate and lactic acid, thereby compromising the body's energy production. Additionally, vitamin B1 functions as an inhibitor of cholinesterase activity. In cases of deficiency, increased cholinesterase activity accelerates acetylcholine breakdown, resulting in impaired neural signal transmission and subsequent effects on both gastrointestinal and cardiac function.
