ThiamineとCysteineとの新化合体について

抄録

The reaction between thiol-type thiamine and cystine (or oxidized-type glutathione) and between thiamine disulfide and cysteine (or reduced-type glutathione) was examined by paper partition chromatography. Both of these reactions showed the same chromatogram and the formation of thiamine-cysteine (or thiamine-glutathione) was confirmed.
The former reaction is likely to take place in a living body and may give a suggestion as to the action mechanism of thiamine in a human body.
