## Abstract The reduction of dimethyl 2βmethylβ3βhydroxypyridine 4,5βdicarboxylate (I) with sodium borohydride and aluminium chloride gives no pyridoxol but a precursor i.e. the lactone II, corresponding to 5βpyridoxic acid. No isomeric lactone (III) corresponding to 4βpyridoxic acid was isolated.

Plasma and urine from individuals ingesting large amounts of vitamin B 6 contain several unidentified vitamin B 6 metabolites. Based on movement in 6 TLC solvents, elution in HPLC, and ultraviolet and infrared spectra, two of these metabolites have been identified as 5-pyridoxic acid and its lactone
## Abstract Density functional methods have been applied to investigate the irreversible transamination between glyoxylic acid and pyridoxamine analog and the catalytic mechanism for the critical [1,3] proton transfer step in aspartate aminotransferase (AATase). The results indicate that the cataly
