Metabolite Identification
Common Name4-deoxypyridoxine
Description4-deoxypyridoxine is a pyridoxine analog and a member of the vitamin B6 chemical class. Its chemical structure features a pyridine ring with a hydroxymethyl group, which is crucial for its function as a pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) antagonist. Biologically, 4-deoxypyridoxine is involved in various metabolic pathways, particularly in the inhibition of sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) lyase, which has been shown to reduce white gonadal adipose tissue mass and adipocyte size in mice subjected to a high-fat diet (PMID:40193069 ). Additionally, it has been utilized to induce vitamin B6 deficiency in Drosophila, highlighting its role as a PLP antagonist (PMID:40123014 ). The compound has also been implicated in promoting tumorigenesis in larval eye discs by enhancing the aggressiveness of RasV12 tumors when PLP is deficient (PMID:38830901 ). Furthermore, 4-deoxypyridoxine facilitates the replication of BmNPV gDNA, contrasting with the inhibitory effects of exogenous PLP (PMID:38335442 ). Overall, 4-deoxypyridoxine serves as a significant metabolic regulator in various biological contexts.
