Thiamine
- Molecular classification
- Other (vitamin; small molecule; cofactor)
01
Overview
Thiamine, also known as vitamin B1, is an essential water-soluble vitamin that acts as a cofactor for key enzymes in carbohydrate metabolism, including pyruvate dehydrogenase and transketolase. It is necessary for energy production, nervous system function, and the synthesis of neurotransmitters. Deficiency leads to serious syndromes, including beriberi and Wernicke–Korsakoff syndrome, with symptoms affecting the cardiovascular and neurological systems. Thiamine is not a protein, enzyme, receptor, or transporter, but a small molecule vital for cellular function. It is used therapeutically to treat or prevent deficiency syndromes and is found in food, supplements, and pharmaceutical preparations[2][4][5][6].

Biological functions
Cofactor in carbohydrate metabolismCoenzyme for pyruvate dehydrogenase and transketolaseNecessary for energy productionSupports nervous system function
03
Disease associations
Thiamine deficiency causes beriberi, Wernicke–Korsakoff syndrome, and other neurological and cardiovascular syndromes[2][4]Deficiency implicated in neurodegenerative diseases (Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease)[2]
04
Safety considerations
Thiamine is water-soluble and rapidly eliminated; does not accumulate significantly, and toxicity is not reported at physiological or therapeutic dosages[2][4]
05
Biomarkers
Reduced blood thiamine or thiamine pyrophosphate levels are diagnostic for deficiency and for monitoring efficacy of supplementation[2][4]
