Description

General description

Pyridoxal is a heterocyclic compound, weighing 167.2 Da. It is one of the natural forms of vitamin B₆. Pyridoxal is found to be less stable than pyridoxine, hence heating might result in the loss of its action. Pyridoxal has a wide variety of sources and is present in both plants and animals. Pyridoxal serves as an efficient precursor for coenzymes : pyridoxal phosphate and pyridoxamine phosphate.

Application

For the labeling of amino acids and their detection in picomolar amounts; Coenzymes and Cofactors, vol. 1: Vitamin B₆, Pyridoxal Phosphate

Pyridoxal hydrochloride has been used to study its effect on cell proliferation and melanogenesis, using murine melanoma cells.
