From: Benfotiamine, a synthetic S-acyl thiamine derivative, has different mechanisms of action and a different pharmacological profile than lipid-soluble thiamine disulfide derivatives

Figure 1

Structures of the S-acyl derivative benfotiamine and the disulfide compounds allithiamine, fursultiamine and sulbutiamine. The thioester bond in benfotiamine is indicated in blue, while the disulfide bond in allithiamine, fursultiamine and sulbutiamine is drawn in red. The allyl group in allithiamine is indicated in green.
