Plasma pyridoxal-5'-phosphate concentrations were significantly lower (p less than 0.001) in a group of 28 asthmatic women when compared to 33 controls. Plasma pyridoxal levels in the two groups were not different. Theophylline was administered to a group of 17 volunteers and resulted in large reductions in plasma pyridoxal-5'-phosphate levels, while plasma pyridoxal levels and urinary 4-pyridoxic acid excretion were unaffected by theophylline therapy. An in vitro study showed that theophylline did not interfere with the high performance liquid chromatography assay for pyridoxal-5'-phosphate, indicating that theophylline could affect liver metabolism of vitamin B6.

D011730 Pyridoxal The 4-carboxyaldehyde form of VITAMIN B 6 which is converted to PYRIDOXAL PHOSPHATE which is a coenzyme for synthesis of amino acids, neurotransmitters (serotonin, norepinephrine), sphingolipids, aminolevulinic acid.
D011732 Pyridoxal Phosphate This is the active form of VITAMIN B 6 serving as a coenzyme for synthesis of amino acids, neurotransmitters (serotonin, norepinephrine), sphingolipids, aminolevulinic acid. During transamination of amino acids, pyridoxal phosphate is transiently converted into pyridoxamine phosphate (PYRIDOXAMINE).

D011735 Pyridoxic Acid The catabolic product of most of VITAMIN B 6; (PYRIDOXINE; PYRIDOXAL; and PYRIDOXAMINE) which is excreted in the urine. Pyridoxinecarboxylic Acid,4-Pyridoxic Acid,4-Pyridoxinic Acid,4-Pyridoxylic Acid,4 Pyridoxic Acid,4 Pyridoxinic Acid,4 Pyridoxylic Acid
D011736 Pyridoxine The 4-methanol form of VITAMIN B 6 which is converted to PYRIDOXAL PHOSPHATE which is a coenzyme for synthesis of amino acids, neurotransmitters (serotonin, norepinephrine), sphingolipids, aminolevulinic acid. Although pyridoxine and Vitamin B 6 are still frequently used as synonyms, especially by medical researchers, this practice is erroneous and sometimes misleading (EE Snell; Ann NY Acad Sci, vol 585 pg 1, 1990).
