Formamide derivatives have been synthesized in excellent yields from amine and formic acid in the presence of a catalytic amount of thiamine hydrochloride (VB1) at 80 !C. The advantages of this method are the use of a cheap, stable, non-toxic, and readily available catalyst, easy work-up, improved yields, and solvent-free conditions. " 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

1. The intestinal absorption of [35S]thiamine hydrochloride was investigated in healthy subjects, malnourished alcoholics and a patient with resection of the jejunum and ileum. Serum and urinary radioactivity was studied after administration of 10 pCi of [35S]thiamine hydrochloride in 1-50 mg of non-radioactive thiamine hydrochloride. 2. Results suggest that intestinal absorption of thiamine hy...

BACKGROUND High dose oral thiamine may have a role in treating diabetes, heart failure, and hypermetabolic states. The purpose of this study was to determine the pharmacokinetic profile of oral thiamine hydrochloride at 100 mg, 500 mg and 1500 mg doses in healthy subjects. METHODS This was a randomized, double-blind, single-dose, 4-way crossover study. Pharmacokinetic measures were calculated...

Two practical methods are reported for treating feral Baltic salmon with thiamine hydrochloride against M74 syndrome (abnormally high yolk-sac fry mortality of the Baltic salmon). Both bathing of the yolk-sac fry in thiamine hydrochloride (1000 mg l-1, 1 h) and a single intraperitoneal injection given to the female brood fish (100 mg kg-1 fish) during the summer 3 mo before stripping were shown...

The fact that the tissue affinity of thiamine propyl disulfide (TPD) is superior to that of thiamin hydrochloride has been shown by many studies in this country as well as in foreign countries. Especially, the distribution of thiamine in the blood after administration of TPD is worthy of note, i.e., the thiamine concentra tion in the blood, particularly in blood cells, is markedly higher after ...

A facile, green and environmental-friendly method for preparing Cu1.8S dendrites was developed. Copper nitrate and thiamine hydrochloride were selected as the starting materials in the water phase under hydrothermal conditions. No addition of a surfactant or a complex reagent was required for the synthesis of the Cu1.8S dendrite structures. Thiamine hydrochloride was employed as a sulfur source...

Oral administration of lipid-soluble allithiamines [thiamine propyl disulfide (TPD) and thiamine tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide (TTHF)] rapidly increased thiamine activity in whole blood, red blood cells, cerebrospinal fluid, and urine in normal and thiamine-deficient subjects. These thiamine congeners also restored red blood cell transketolase to normal in alcoholics with thiamine deficiency. Su...

chemicaI stability of thiamine hydrochloride and wfwncrate in tablets prepared by direct granulation Its vising Span 40, stearic acid or PEG 6000 as gran-agents were studied in comparison with those pre-ifret granulation technique. Batches of tablets id good physical and mechanical properties were for this study. The stability testing was carried 5 and 95% relative humidity at two temperature a...
