Properties
Sulbutiamine is an original compound derived from thiamine through a series of structural modifications to the thiamine core:
– formation of a disulfide bond, the introduction of a lipophilic ester and the opening of a thiazole ring.
Thanks to this modification, sulbutiamine
– we will well dissolve in fats that allows it to be quickly soaked up from a gastrointestinal tract and easily to get through BBB;
-capable of accumulating in cells of the reticular formation, hippocampus and dentate gyrus, as well as cells of Purkinje fibers and glomeruli of the granular layer of the cerebellar cortex, which is confirmed by histochemical analysis.
In placebo-controlled studies in humans, as well as in studies with active control, there was evidence of the effectiveness of the drug Arcalion in the symptomatic treatment of functional asthenia.
Sulbutiamine is metabolized to thiamine (vitamin B1). In complex with adenosine triphosphate (ATP), thiamine forms thiamine diphosphate (carboxylase or thiamine pyrophosphate), which takes part in carbohydrate metabolism as a coenzyme.
