Part Descriptions

LP15842-5   Pyridoxine
Pyridoxine is one of the compounds called vitamin B6, along with pyridoxal and pyridoxamine. Pyridoxine regulates the sodium and potassium levels and promoties red blood cell production. It also lowers the formation of homocysteine. Pyridoxine might help children with learning difficulties, prevent dandruff, eczema, and psoriasis and may also help balance hormonal changes in women. Lack of pyridoxine may cause anemia, nerve damage, seizures, skin problems, and mouth sores. Its stucture comprises a pyridine ring, with hydroxyl, methyl, and hydroxymethyl radical groups. It differs from pyridoxamine by a substitution at the '4' position and it is often used as 'pyridoxine hydrochloride'. It is converted to the biologically active form pyridoxal 5-phosphate.

LP15842-5   Pyridoxine
When mapping be careful to distinguish the word pyridoxal (A is the 2nd to last letter) from pyridoxol (letter O is the 2nd to last letter). These are both forms or preforms of vitamin B6. Pyridoxine - the usual name for B6 is also called pyridoxol. These both get converted to Pyridoxine 5-Phosphate the biologically active form (also called Pyridoxol 5-phosphate)
There are three natural forms of vitamin B6, pyridoxine (also called "pyridoxol") pyridoxamine and pyridoxal. All of these forms are converted into a single biologically active form, pyridoxal 5-phosphate. All three forms of vitamin B6 are heterocyclic organic compounds. Green plants are a natural source of pyridoxal, and its deficiency in humans can lead to serious complications such as epilepsy and seizures. Source: Regenstrief Help
