pyrithiamine, the enzyme undergoes an irreversible inactivation which is not reversed on removal of pyrithiamine or its oxidation products by gel filtration or dialysis. This inhibition is prevented by the presence of thiols or of semicarbazide and is suggested to be due to the release of the aldehyde form of pyrithiamine from the catalytic site, which then reacts with the enzyme in a nonspecific manner
硫胺素氧化酶催化硫胺素的5-羟乙基的四电子氧化,以通过醛中间体形成硫胺素乙酸。形成这种中间体的证据来自许多动力学方法。通过质子释放速率监测的硫胺素乙酸形成速率受底物抑制,并受到氨基脲的抑制,同时消耗氧气(由于硫胺氧化成醛,然后氧化成羧酸) )不受影响。在停止流转化实验中,在370 nm处具有最大吸收的中间体的瞬态形成取决于pH和底物浓度,并且可以通过存在氨基脲来防止这种情况发生,因此表明该瞬时吸收中间体是醛中间体形成的结果。当羟基硫胺素为底物时观察到相似的光谱中间体,而巯氧吡啶胺则未观察到。在高浓度的巯乙胺存在下,酶会发生不可逆的失活,这种失活在通过凝胶过滤或渗析除去巯乙胺或其氧化产物后不会逆转。这种抑制作用可以通过巯基或氨基脲的存在来防止,并且被认为是由于巯基乙胺的醛形式从催化位点释放而引起的,然后它以非特异性的方式与酶反应。目前尚不清楚吸收370 nm的中间体的结构,但建议它不是硫胺素
