Abstract

Pyridoxine is known to be rapidly taken up by the red blood cells and converted to pyridoxamine and pyridoxal phosphate, which serve as the coenzyme for the transaminases [1,2]. Pyridoxine, pyridoxamine, and pyridoxal phosphate form the vitamin B6 group of compounds and are interconvertible within the cell. Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) is a catalytically inactive form, whereas pyridoxal (aldehyde form) and pyridoxamine (amine form) are catalytically active and are involved in a wide variety of both nonenzymatic and enzymatic reactions [1,2].
