Transketolase

Oxythiamine (Hydroxythiamin) is an antivitamin of thiamine and a transketolase (TK) inhibitor. Oxythiamine inhibits cancer cell proliferation and induces cell cycle arrest. Oxythiamine has potential anticancer activity, inhibits non-oxidative synthesis of ribose, and induces apoptosis.

Transketolase-IN-4 is a transketolase inhibitor with an IC50 value of 3.9 μM.Transketolase-IN-4 inhibited Mycobacterium tuberculosis DXS with an IC50 value of 114.1 μM. Transketolase-IN-4 inhibited the SW620, LS174T, and MIA PaCa-2 tumor cell proliferation.
