General description

Pyrithiamine hydrobromide is a heterocyclic building block that is used as a valuable tool in organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry due to its ability to mimic thiamine deficiency and its potential for the development of new compounds with useful pharmacological properties.

Application

Pyrithiamine hydrobromide can be used as a precursor for the synthesis pyrithiamine pyrophosphate.

Although the key neuropathology associated with diencephalic amnesia is lesions to the thalamus and/or mammillary bodies, functional deactivation of the hippocampus and associated cortical regions also appear to contribute to the memory dysfunction. For example, there is loss of forebrain

A rodent model of diencephalic amnesia, pyrithiamine-induced thiamine deficiency (PTD), was used to investigate the dynamic role of hippocampal and striatal acetylcholine (ACh) efflux across acquisition of a nonmatching-to-position (NMTP) T-maze task. Changes in ACh efflux were measured in rats
