The photolysis of thiochrome (THC), an oxidation product of thiamine (vitamin B1) (THE), used for its fluorimetric assay, has been studied in the pH range 7.0-12.0. THC undergoes photooxidation to oxodihydrothiochrome (ODTHC) which is oxidized to a non-fluorescent compound (OP1)
A modified fluorometric method for the determination of thiamine in food is described. The procedure is simple, reproducible, does not demand costly outfit and chemicals and is not susceptible to interference. The recovery of added thiamine is good.
Thiochrome (2,7-dimethyl-5H-thiachromine-8-ethanol), an oxidation product and metabolite of thiamine, has little effect on the equilibrium binding of l-[3H]N-methyl scopolamine ([3H]NMS) to the five human muscarinic receptor subtypes (M1-M5) at concentrations up to 0.3 mM. In contrast, it inhibits [3H]NMS dissociation

Vitamin B1, which consists of the vitamers thiamin and its phosphorylated derivatives, is an essential micronutrient for all living organisms because it is required as a metabolic cofactor in several enzymatic reactions. Genetic diversity of vitamin B1 biosynthesis and accumulation

Thiamine, or vitamin B1 plays an indispensable role as a cofactor in crucial metabolic reactions including glycolysis, pentose phosphate pathway and the tricarboxylic acid cycle in all living organisms. Thiamine has been shown to play a role in plant adaptation
