Vitamin B6

  • John Marks

Abstract

The term vitamin B6 is used to cover a group of compounds that are metabolically interchangeable, pyridoxol (the alcohol), its aldehyde (pyridoxal) and its amine (pyridoxamine) (Figure 30). They are all colourless crystals soluble in water and alcohol, resistant to normal heat but decomposed by alkalis and ultraviolet light.
