What is 4-Pyridoxic acid?
The Uses of 4-Pyridoxic acid
4-Pyridoxic Acid, a catabolite of vitamin B6 (P991735), is a water-soluble B-group vitamin that can be used as a urinary diagnostic biomarker for determining the nutritional status of these vitamins.
What are the applications of Application
4-Pyridoxic acid is a catabolite of vitamin B6
Definition
ChEBI: 4-pyridoxic acid is a methylpyridine that is 2-methylpyridine substituted by a hydroxy group at C-3, a carboxy group at C-4, and a hydroxymethyl group at C-5. It is the catabolic product of vitamin B6 and is excreted in the urine. It has a role as a mouse metabolite and a human urinary metabolite. It is a member of methylpyridines, a hydroxymethylpyridine, a monohydroxypyridine and a vitamin B6. It is functionally related to an isonicotinic acid. It is a conjugate acid of a 4-pyridoxate.

Enzyme inhibitor
This oxidized derivative (FW = 171.15 g/mol) of pyridoxal is the chief catabolic product of pyridoxine, pyridoxal, and pyridoxamine degradation; it can be isolated from human urine. The carboxyl group has a pKa value of 5.50 while the phenolic OH has a value of 9.75. 4-Pyridoxic acid has a blue fluorescence which is maximal between pH 3 and 4. Heating 4-pyridoxic acid in 0.5 N acid will convert the metabolite to its lactone, which has an even stronger fluorescence. Target(s): dextransucrase; glucose dehydrogenase; pyridoxal dehydrogenase; and pyridoxaminephosphate oxidase.
