6-fluoro-5'-deoxypyridoxal

Description:

6-Fluoro-5'-deoxypyridoxal, identified by its CAS number 106212-90-2, is a derivative of pyridoxal, which is a form of vitamin B6. This compound features a fluorine atom at the 6-position of the pyridine ring, which can influence its biological activity and properties. It is characterized by its role as a coenzyme in various enzymatic reactions, particularly those involving amino acid metabolism. The presence of the deoxy group at the 5' position indicates that it lacks a hydroxyl group typically found in other pyridoxal derivatives, which may affect its solubility and reactivity. This compound is of interest in biochemical research, particularly in studies related to vitamin B6 metabolism and its implications in health and disease. Its unique structural modifications may also provide insights into the development of pharmaceuticals targeting metabolic pathways. As with many chemical substances, safety and handling precautions should be observed, given its potential biological activity.
