What is Pyridoxamine?

Plain description, key identifiers and synonyms

Pyridoxamine is a monohydroxypyridine that is pyridine substituted by a hydroxy group at position 3, an aminomethyl group at position 4, a hydroxymethyl group at position 5 and a methyl group at position 2. The 4-aminomethyl form of vitamin B6, it is used (in the form of the hydrochloride salt) for treatment of diabetic nephropathy. It has a role as an iron chelator, a mouse metabolite, a Saccharomyces cerevisiae metabolite, a nephroprotective agent, a plant metabolite, an Escherichia coli metabolite and a human metabolite. It is a vitamin B6, a monohydroxypyridine, a hydroxymethylpyridine and an aminoalkylpyridine. It is a conjugate base of a pyridoxaminium(1+).
