An alternative name for aneurin or vitamin B1 (thiamine), especially used in older medical and scientific texts.
A variant spelling of aneurin with the additional -e ending, both referring to the same B vitamin compound discovered in the early 20th century.
Scientists in the 1920s and 1930s named this compound before they fully understood what it was chemically—once they figured out its structure, it got the more logical name 'thiamine,' but the old names 'aneurin' and 'aneurine' stuck around in some textbooks.
