Thiamine Metabolism

Rattus norvegicus
Thiamine, (Vitamin B1), is a compound found in many different foods such as beans, seafood, meats and yogurt. It is usually maintained by the consumption of whole grains. It is an essential part of energy metabolism. This means that thiamine helps convert carbohydrates into energy. Eating carbohydrates increases the need for this vitamin, as your body can only store about 30mg at a time due to the vitamins short half-life. Thiamine was first synthesized in 1936, which was very helpful in researching its properties in relation to beriberi, a vitamin b1 deficiency. This deficiency has been observed mainly in countries where rice is the staple food. Thiamine metabolism begins in the extracellular space, being transported by a thiamine transporter into the cell. Once in the intracellular space, thiamine is converted into thiamine pyrophosphate through the enzyme thiamin pyrophosphate kinase 1. Thiamine pyrophosphate is then converted into thiamine triphosphate, again using the enzyme thiamin pyrophosphatekinase 1. After this, thiamine triphosphate uses thiamine-triphosphatase to revert to thiamine pyrophosphate, which undergoes a reaction using cancer-related nuceloside-triphosphatase to become thiamine monophosphate. This phosphorylated form is a metabolically active form of thiamine, as are the two other compounds, derivatives of thiamine, mentioned previously. The enzymes used in this pathway both stem from the upper small intestine. Thiamine is passed mainly through urine. It is a water-soluble vitamin, which means it dissolves in water and is carried to different parts of the body but is not stored in the body.

Thiamine Metabolism

Arabidopsis thaliana
Thiamine is used in a variety of metabolic pathways in the form of thiamine pyrophosphate, or Vitamin B1. Its use is primarily as a cofactor for enzymes in key metabolic reactions. In plants, 5-aminoimidazole ribonucleotide, a product from purine metabolism, reacts with S-adenosylmethionine to produce 4-amino-5-hydroxymethyl-2-methylpyrimidine phosphate in the chloroplast. With the help of a TH1 enzyme, this compound reacts to form 4-amino-5-hydroxymethyl-2-methylpyrimidine diphosphate, dephosphorylating ATP in the process. This diphosphate compound is then further broken down into thiamine monophosphate by reacting with a number of complex compounds, two of which are derived from reactions using Glycine and 5-(2-hydroxymethyl)-4-methylthiazole, respectively. The thiamine monophosphate is then transported out of the chloroplast into the cytoplasm, where it is hydrolysed to form thiamine. Thiamine is now phosphorylated through a pair of reactions to form thiamine triphosphate. Alternatively, thiamine undergoes unknown reaction(s) to form N-formyl-4-amino-5-aminomethyl-2-methylpyrimidine, which, after being hydrolysed twice, is transported back into the chloroplast and reacts to form the earlier compound 4-amino-5-hydroxymethyl-2-methylpyrimidine phosphate. Notedly, many of the compounds used in thiamine metabolism are modified products of other crucial metabolic pathways, including glycine metabolism, cysteine metabolism, and glycolysis.

Thiazinamium H1-Antihistamine Action

Homo sapiens
Thiazinamium is a first-generation phenothiazine H1-antihistamine. H1-antihistamines interfere with the agonist action of histamine at the H1 receptor and are administered to attenuate inflammatory process in order to treat conditions such as allergic rhinitis, allergic conjunctivitis, and urticaria. Reducing the activity of the NF-κB immune response transcription factor through the phospholipase C and the phosphatidylinositol (PIP2) signalling pathways also decreases antigen presentation and the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, cell adhesion molecules, and chemotactic factors. Furthermore, lowering calcium ion concentration leads to increased mast cell stability which reduces further histamine release. First-generation antihistamines readily cross the blood-brain barrier and cause sedation and other adverse central nervous system (CNS) effects (e.g. nervousness and insomnia). Second-generation antihistamines are more selective for H1-receptors of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) and do not cross the blood-brain barrier. Consequently, these newer drugs elicit fewer adverse drug reactions.
