No clinical role for thiamine pyrophosphate in doxorubicin cardiotoxicity yet; leaves open TPK inhibition mechanism for further animal and human study.
Does thiamine or thiamine pyrophosphate prevent doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity in a rat model?
Thiamine pyrophosphate, but not thiamine, protects against doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity in rats, suggesting the toxicity originates from TPK enzyme inhibition.
Polat et al. (2014) studied this question.
