Prosultiamine (INN; also known asthiamine propyl disulfide orTPD; brand nameJubedel,) is adisulfidethiaminederivative discovered in garlic inJapan in the 1950s, and is similar toallithiamine. It was developed as a treatment forvitamin B1 deficiency.[1][2][3] It has improvedlipidsolubility relative to thiamine and is not rate-limited by dependency on intestinaltransporters for absorption, hence the reasoning for its development.[4][5]
It has been studied as a potential treatment for infection withhuman T-lymphotropic virus (HTLV), since it has been shown to reduce viral load and symptoms.[6]
