Pyrithiamine (hydrobromide) is a thiamine analogue that inhibits the metabolism of thiamine (vitamin B1)[1]. Pyrithiamine (hydrobromide) has high affinity to thiamine transporters in neurons, with a Kd of approximately 60 nM[2]. Pyrithiamine (hydrobromide) is also a substrate of thiamine pyrophosphate kinase (TPK) and can be converted into pyrithiamine pyrophosphate (PPP)[3]. Pyrithiamine (hydrobromide) can be used in microbial culture to inhibit the growth of microorganisms that require thiamine[4].
In vitro, Pyrithiamine (hydrobromide) (10μM) treated the HeLa cell line for 4 days, significantly reducing cellular nucleotide levels, and intracellular dATP, dCTP, dGTP and dTTP were all reduced[5]. Pyrithiamine (hydrobromide) (0.25mM) treated Neuro 2a cells, resulting in a strong reduction in intracellular ThDP levels, and the cells began to die after 48 hours [6].
In vivo, Pyrithiamine (hydrobromide) (250 or 500 μg/kg/day) treated mice by intraperitoneal injection for 4 weeks, causing thiamine deficiency, leading to cognitive dysfunction and neuropathological changes in wild-type mice, but it had no effect on existing mice. There is no corresponding effect on AD model mice with obvious cognitive impairment [7]. Pyrithiamine (hydrobromide) (0.5g/kg) was administered intraperitoneally to rats for 11 days, causing thiamine deficiency, leading to enlargement of the lateral ventricles and reduced levels of choline-containing compounds in the body [8].

Cell experiment [1]: |
|
Cell lines |
HeLa cells |
Preparation method |
Cells were incubated for four days in 10μM Pyrithiamine (hydrobromide) in low thiamine medium prior to irradiation. |
Reaction Conditions |
10μM; 4 days |
Applications |
dATP, dCTP, dGTP and dTTP were all reduced in cells treated with Pyrithiamine (hydrobromide). |
Animal experiment [2]: |
|
Animal models |
AD model mice、WT mice |
Preparation method |
mice were randomly divided into four groups respectively: control group, Pyrithiamine(hydrobromide) 250μg/kg/day group (hereafter the PT250 group), Pyrithiamine(hydrobromide) 500μg/kg/day group (PT500 group) and diet-induced TD group. The mice in TD group were fed a pelleted thiamine-depleted diet for four weeks. The control and PT groups received a normal thiamine-containing diet for 4 weeks. PT250 and PT500 groups received a daily intraperitoneal injection of Pyrithiamine(hydrobromide) (250 or 500μg/kg/day) for 4 weeks. |
Dosage form |
250 or 500μg/kg/day; i.p. |
Applications |
Pyrithiamine(hydrobromide) treatment significantly impairs the cognitive functions of wild-type mice, but has no corresponding effects on ADmodel mice that already have obvious cognitive impairment. |
