General description

Vitamin B group is water-soluble and exists in six forms namely the pyridoxal, pyridoxine, pyridoxamine, pyridoxamine 5′-phosphate, pyridoxine 5′-phosphate and pyridoxal 5′-phosphate. The food sources of vitamin B6 include grains, nuts, fruits, vegetables and meat.

Application

Pyridoxine hydrochloride has been used to test its neuroprotective functionality in traumatic brain injury (TBI) rats. It has also been used as a reference standard to quantify vitamin B6 in feed and digesta samples using high-performance liquid chromatography(HPLC).

Biochem/physiol Actions

Pyridoxine plays a key role in metabolism both carbohydrates and amino acids. It supports brain development and its deficiency levels may lead to depletion of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) levels. Pyridoxine catalyzes the neurotransmitter biosynthesis like dopamine and serotonin. Pyridoxine in excess or deficient may lead to neuropathy.
