6-(hydroxymethyl)pyridin-3-ol is a metabolite of the indole alkaloid, bufotenine. It has been shown to have cytotoxic activity against the human lung carcinoma cell line A549 and adipose cells, as well as antioxidant properties. 6-(hydroxymethyl)pyridin-3-ol also has been shown to modulate the production of reactive oxygen species in cells by inhibiting lipid peroxidation. This compound can be found in neutral pH environments, such as water and soil. 6-(hydroxymethyl)pyridin-3-ol can be synthesized from furfural or 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), which are produced through the degradation of glucose and other carbohydrates. The reaction between HMF with urea produces 6-(hydroxymethyl)pyridin-3-ol, leading to its presence in food chemistry.
