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.

Formation of advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs), endothelial dysfunction, and low-grade inflammation are intermediate pathways of hyperglycemia-induced vascular complications. We investigated the effect of benfotiamine on markers of these pathways in patients with type 2 diabetes and nephropathy. Patients with type
