4-Pyridoxic acid is a primary metabolite of vitamin B6 and is a compound used in nutritional and metabolic research to assess vitamin B6 status in biological specimens. Researchers employ it as a biomarker in epidemiological studies to investigate the correlation between vitamin B6 levels and various health conditions, relying on its presence in urine as an indicator of the body′s vitamin B6 reserves. In enzymology, 4-pyridoxic acid is also used to study the activity of aldehyde oxidase and xanthine dehydrogenase, as it serves as a substrate for these enzymes. Furthermore, its role in elucidating the transport mechanisms of organic anions in renal systems is notable, as it assists in understanding the renal excretion of metabolites.
