Vitamin B1, Thiamine, Transketolase[1].
Oxythiamine chloride hydrochloride targets transketolase (TK), an enzyme involved in the pentose phosphate pathway. As a thiamine antagonist, it competes with thiamine for uptake and phosphorylation. The compound is converted by thiamine pyrophosphokinase to oxythiamine pyrophosphate, which acts as a transketolase inhibitor. By inhibiting transketolase, the compound disrupts the non-oxidative synthesis of ribose, which is essential for nucleotide synthesis. This leads to inhibition of cell proliferation and induction of apoptosis. The compound also inhibits other thiamine-dependent enzymes including pyruvate dehydrogenase. Its inhibition of transketolase has a Kd of 33 nM. |
