vitamin b6 disulfide

Pyrithioxin (Encefabol) is a neurodynamic compound, combined with a short period of hyperventilation (HV) was applied in cerebral infarct patients with Hemiplegia. Pyrithioxin is regarded as an encephalotropic or nootropic compound and is reported to act mainly by producing decisive improvements in cerebral metabolism.

4,4'-Disulfanediylbis(2-aminobutanoic acid) (DL-Homocystine) is the double-bonded form of homocysteine that occurs transiently before being converted to harmless cystathionine via a vitamin B6-dependent enzyme. Homocystine and homocysteine-cysteine mixed disulfide account for over 98% of total homocysteine in plasma from healthy individuals.

Pyrithioxin dihydrochloride (Pyrithioxine HCl) has anti-nociceptive and anti-allodynic effects, can promote the metabolism of glucose and amino acids in the brain, improve systemic assimilation, and can be used to study neurological diseases such as atherosclerosis. Pyrithioxin dihydrochloride can induce severe cholestatic hepatitis.
