Description

Antithiamine Factor CAS NO 20733-94-2 is a specialized biochemical compound known for its ability to inactivate thiamine (vitamin B1). This property makes it a critical research tool for studying thiamine deficiency disorders and metabolic pathways. It is primarily utilized by research institutions, pharmaceutical R&D departments, and analytical laboratories focused on nutrition, enzymology, and metabolic disease models.

Application

• Biochemical Research: Used as a specific inhibitor to study thiamine-dependent enzymatic processes and metabolic pathways in vitro.
• Nutritional Science Studies: Employed to induce and model thiamine deficiency states in cellular and animal studies to understand related pathologies.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Serves as a reference standard or tool compound in the development of assays for thiamine or thiamine-enhancing drugs.
• Enzymology: Applied in the investigation of enzymes like transketolase and pyruvate dehydrogenase that require thiamine pyrophosphate as a cofactor.
• Analytical Chemistry: Can be used as a standard in chromatographic methods (e.g., HPLC) for the identification and quantification of related compounds.
• Food & Feed Science: Research into factors that affect thiamine stability and bioavailability in complex matrices.
