The inhibition properties of the O- June 30 2019 substituted compounds depend on nature of substituents at position 3 and 5 of the thiazolium Accepted July 19 2019 ring. Some of the thiazolium salts showed high potency in the inhibition of only one of the two Available online enzymes. The selective effects of these inhibitors are governed by substituent at position 5.

Introduction Thiazolium ring is one of the two heterocyclic fragments of thiamine vitamin B1 which can exhibit coenzyme and non-coenzyme activity in living cells and is necessary for energy metabolism and nervous system Severe deficiency of vitamin B1 leads to beriberi Wernicke Korsakoff syndrome and can be one of the reasons of Alzheimer s and Parkinson s .
