General description

S-Benzoylthiamine O-monophosphate (Benfotiamine) is an amphiphilic S-acyl thiamine derivative. It is a lipid-soluble vitamin. Benfotiamine contains a thiazole ring. Benfotiamine has a greater bioavailability than thiamine.

Application

S-Benzoylthiamine O-monophosphate has been used to determine its effect on ischemia and reperfusion in skeletal muscles of rat.

Biochem/physiol Actions

S-Benzoylthiamine O-monophosphate (Benfotiamine) is a therapeutic agent. It helps in the prevention of diabetic complications such as, retinopathy, neuropathy and nephropathy. Benfotiamine inhibits the synthesis of glycation end products (AGEs) in diabetes. Benfotiamine is considered as a nutraceutical product for the prevention of diabetic neuropathy.

Thiamine is essential for normal brain function and its deficiency causes metabolic impairment, specific lesions, oxidative damage and reduced adult hippocampal neurogenesis (AHN). Thiamine precursors with increased bioavailability, especially benfotiamine, exert neuroprotective effects not only for thiamine deficiency (TD), but
