The uptake of dimethialium, a thiamine analog having a methyl group in place of the hydroxyethyl group in the thiazole moiety, was studied in freshly isolated rat hepatocytes. In an Na+-medium, dimethialium at 10 microM was accumulated rapidly by the cells and an almost steady intra- to extracellular distribution ratio of 4.2 was attained in 5 min of incubation.

Phenylthiazinothiamine, in concentrations as low as 250 muM, reduced peak early current and steady-state current, with the depression of the former being two to five times greater than that of the latter. Peak transient and steady-state conductances were about equally depressed by thiamine tert-butyl disulfide (2 mM) and L-586944-00P07 (5-10 mM).
