[The effect of several 2-alkyl- and 4'-O-methylanalogs of pyridoxol on mouse liver pyridoxal kinase activity].

A simple method of isolation of partially purified puridoxal kinase preparation from mouse liver, having specific activity of 600-700 E/mg protein and a 30% yield is described. It is demonstrated that of all number of 2-alkyl- and 4'-O-methyl pyridoxol analogs synthesized, 4'-O-methyl-pyridoxol (Ki=0.2-10(-5) M, Km(pyridoxal)=4-10(-5) M) is the most active competitive inhibitor of pyridoxal kinase. 3-Deoxy-4'-O-methylpyridoxol is a non-competitive inhibitor of pyridoxal kinase, the latter having an affinity for the enzyme 16 times lower than that of 4'-O-methylpyridoxol. 2-Alkyl analogs of pyridoxol exhibit properties of competitive inhibitors; the affinity of 2'-ethylpyridoxol for the enzyme is 5 times lower than that of 2'-methylpyridoxol; corresponding 2-alkyl derivatives of dimethyl ethers of 3-hydroxycinchomeronic acids have no pronounced affinity for the enzyme. The study of the toxic effects of pyridoxol analogs on the central nervous system has revealed inverse dependence between the neurotoxic dose of the compound and its efficiency as an inhibitor of pyridoxal kinase (Km/Ki value).
