Product Description
Fursultiamine is a vitamin B1 derivative and a medication used for therapy of thiamine deficiency. It’s phosphorylated metabolites may be administered as multivitamin preparations. Fursultiamine has been identified as a drug candidate against prostate cancer from the aspect of somatic cell reprogramming and may be useful as a therapeutic tool in number of human neurological diseases.


Fursultiamine (thiamine tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) is a vitamin B1 derivative that is readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Oral administration causes a significant increase in blood total thiamine level equivalent to that achieved by intravenous administration of water-soluble thiamines. During absorption, its S-S bond is broken to generate thiamine. [1]
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
In a preliminary study, Fursultiamine in combination with glucosamine hydrochloride and/or chondroitin sulfate showed no detectable additive beneficial effects on cellular metabolism of bovine nasal cartilage or human articular chondrocytes in vitro. [1]
ln Vivo
In a rabbit partial medial meniscectomy model of osteoarthritis, oral administration of Fursultiamine alone at 100 mg/kg for 8 weeks had no effect on the severity of macroscopic or histologic cartilage lesions, nor on MMP-1 positive cell scores compared to placebo-treated OA rabbits. However, when combined with glucosamine hydrochloride (1000 mg/kg) and chondroitin sulfate (800 mg/kg), the triple combination significantly reduced macroscopic lesion grade (by 40%) and surface area (by 39%), histologic score (by 44%), and MMP-1 positive chondrocytes (by 42%) compared to placebo. [1]
Animal Protocol
Male Japanese White rabbits (13-week-old, 2.5-2.9 kg) underwent partial medial meniscectomy of the right knee joint (day 0) under anesthesia. Treatment was initiated on day 3 and continued for 8 weeks. Fursultiamine was dissolved in distilled water and administered via a gastric tube once daily at a dose of 100 mg/kg. For the combination study, glucosamine hydrochloride (1000 mg/kg) and sodium chondroitin sulfate (800 mg/kg) were co-administered. Placebo control received distilled water. Another experiment evaluated Fursultiamine alone at the same dose. Rabbits were sacrificed with sodium pentobarbital. Macroscopic grading of tibial plateau cartilage (depth score 0-4, area measured by image analysis), histologic grading (Safranin O-fast green staining, Mankin scale 0-12), and immunohistochemistry for MMP-1 (mouse monoclonal antibody, percent positive chondrocytes) were performed. [1]
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Oral administration of Fursultiamine at 50 mg/kg in rabbits rapidly caused a sufficient increase in blood total thiamine level reaching up to 4 pg/mL, which is about 10 times higher than that in humans at its regular dose (100 mg/min). During absorption, the S-S bond of Fursultiamine is broken to generate thiamine. [1]
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
No clinical signs of drug toxicity were noted in any treatment group. A slight but significant decrease in body weight gain was observed in rabbits treated with GH+CS+Fursultiamine compared to placebo control (p<0.05 at day 56), but not in rabbits treated with Fursultiamine alone. [1]

Additional Infomation
Fursultiamine belongs to the pyrimidine class of compounds. This compound is used to treat thiamine deficiency. It has also been used to treat various non-deficiency diseases, but its effectiveness has not been proven. Fursultiamine is a vitamin B1 derivative. It is a nutritional supplement and vitamin B1 derivative with potential anti-tumor activity. Oral administration of Fursultiamine inhibits the expression of octamer-binding transcription factor 4 (OCT-4), SRY (sex-determining region Y)-box 2 (SOX-2), and Nanog homeobox (NANOG) in cancer stem cells (CSCs). This may inhibit CSC proliferation, thereby preventing tumor cell growth. Furthermore, Fursultiamine inhibits the expression of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter subfamily B member 1 (ABCB1) and subfamily G member 2 (ABCG2) in cancer stem cells (CSCs), which may eliminate CSC resistance to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. CSCs promote tumor development, progression, and metastasis; they play a key role in cancer recurrence and resistance to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. This compound is used to treat thiamine deficiency. It has also been recommended for the treatment of several non-deficiency diseases, but its effectiveness has not been proven.
Fursultiamine is a vitamin B1 derivative. It may provide preferential conditions for collagen synthesis via regulation of ascorbic acid biosynthesis, as thiamine deficiency has been reported to reduce collagen synthesis. It also enhances thermogenesis together with noradrenaline and adrenaline secretion in rats. The combined treatment with glucosamine (which may affect energy balance via the hexosamine biosynthesis pathway) and Fursultiamine may increase energy expenditure and decrease energy intake, leading to changes in body weight gain. B vitamins have been reported to induce antinociceptive effects and increase the analgesic effect of NSAIDs. [1]

  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
