Fursultiamine (INN; Adventan, Alinamin-F, Benlipoid, Bevitol Lipophil, Judolor), also known as thiamine tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide (TTFD), is a disulfide derivative of thiamine, or an allithiamine.[1] It was synthesized in Japan in the 1960s for the purpose of developing forms of thiamine with improved lipophilicity for treating vitamin B1 deficiency (i.e., beriberi),[1][2] and was subsequently commercialized not only in Japan but also in Spain, Austria, Germany, and the United States.[3] As a vitamin, it is available over-the-counter as well.[4]

In addition to its clinical indication of avitaminosis, fursultiamine has been studied in clinical trials for Alzheimer's disease and autistic spectrum disorders with positive but modest benefits.[5][6] It has also been investigated in improving energy metabolism during exercise and reducing exercise-induced fatigue with conflicting results.[4][7][8][9]
