Allithiamine is a thiamin derivative with absorption characteristics similar to fat-soluble vitamins. Allithiamine acts as a cofactor precursor for thiamin pyrophosphate (TPP), which participates in carbohydrate metabolism by supporting the pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) complex to facilitate pyruvate entry into the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle as acetyl CoA. Allithiamine can be used for researching thiamin metabolism [1].
