Abstract

UV and 1H NMR spectroscopy were used to study the interaction of thiamine with 1(2-(4-methoxyphenylcarbamoyl)ethyl) piperidinium chloride, a local anaesthetic drug. UV spectroscopy did not bring a direct evidence of the existence of a local anaesthetic-thiamine omplex. On the contrary, the upfield shifts of certain protons in the mixtures local anaesthetic with thiamine were interpreted as a result of a π-complex formation between the aromatic nucleus and the pyrimidine ring of thiamine
