Explanation / Answer

thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, lipoic acid, and pantothenic acid

Thiamine is precursor of TPP which is coenzyme of the first enzyme of PDH complex, E1

lipoic acid and pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) is precursor of coenzymes of E2, the second enzyme of PDH complex.

Riboflavin (vitamin B2) is precursor of FAD and FMN which are coenzymes of E3, the third enzyme of PDH complex. Niacin is precursor of NAD which is also coenzyme of E3.
