Description and Uses
Pyritinol, the disulfide of pyridoxine-5-thiol, is marketed as a cerebral stimulant in Europe. Both the thiol and the disulfide have been shown to have d-penicillamine-like activity in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. Adverse effects are similar to those seen with d-penicillamine. Occasionally, pyritinol seems effective and better tolerated in some individuals who fail to respond to d-penicillamine.
Pyritinol can be used as a nootropic used in the prevention and treatment of cerebrovascular diseases.
