Ordering Information

Biological Activity

Sulbutiamine is a lipophilic synthetic derivative of thiamine (vitamin B1) that efficiently crosses the blood-brain barrier to elevate central thiamine phosphate levels. It modulates cholinergic, glutamatergic, and dopaminergic neurotransmission within the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus. By enhancing synaptic receptor density and monoaminergic signaling pathways, sulbutiamine promotes memory formation, learning capacity, and cognitive performance in preclinical models. [1]

Solubility

Batch:
All in vitro solubility values are batch-tested experimental data (non-literature values).
Solvent Solubility & Note
DMSO 100 mg/mL (142.26 mM)
(Moisture-contaminated DMSO may reduce solubility. Use fresh, anhydrous DMSO. The recommended stock concentration is 10 mM in DMSO.)
FAQ
Q: Why does a DMSO stock precipitate in media/saline?
A: It is caused by unheated aqueous media (supersaturation), local solvent shock, or incorrect mixing sequence.
How to fix it?
  • Preheat media/saline to 37°C.
  • Mix rapidly (pipette/vortex) upon addition.
  • For complex mixes, always add the aqueous phase last.
  • Re-dissolve minor precipitates with a 37°C water bath and sonication (≤30 min).
