1
Cyproheptadine
UNII NJ82J0F8QC - CYPROHEPTADINE HYDROCHLORIDE
|

|
|
3
Vitamin B1
UNII M572600E5P - THIAMINE HYDROCHLORIDE
|
Thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP), the coenzymatic form of thiamine, is involved in two main types of metabolic reactions: decarboxylation of α-ketoacids (e.g. pyruvate, α-ketoglutarate and branched-chain keto acids) and transketolation (e.g. among hexose and pentose phosphates). Therefore, the principal physiological role of thiamine is as a coenzyme in carbohydrate metabolism, where TPP is required for several stages in the breakdown of glucose to provide energy. |
4
Riboflavin
UNII TLM2976OFR - RIBOFLAVIN
|
Riboflavine is phosphorylated to flavine mononucleotide and flavine adenine dinucleotide which act as co-enzymes in the respiratory chain and in oxidative phosphorylation. Riboflavine deficiency presents with ocular symptoms, as well as lesions on the lips and at angles of the mouth. |
5
Pyridoxine
UNII 68Y4CF58BV - PYRIDOXINE HYDROCHLORIDE
|
Pyridoxine hydrochloride is Vitamin B6. It is converted to pyridoxal phosphate which is the co-enzyme for a variety of metabolic transformations. It is essential for human nutrition. |
6
Vitamin C
UNII PQ6CK8PD0R - ASCORBIC ACID
|
Ascorbic acid, coupled with dehydroascorbic acid to which it is reversibly oxidised, has a variety of functions in cellular oxidation processes. Ascorbic acid is required in several important hydroxylations, including the conversion of proline to hydroxyproline and appears to have an important role in metal ion metabolism, including the gastrointestinal absorption of iron and its transport between plasma and storage organs. |
