Abstract
Summary
2-Methyl-3-hydroxy-4-methoxymethyl-5-hydroxymethylpyridine (methoxypyridoxine) has been shown to have the same order of antipyridoxine activity as desoxypyridoxine in chicks. In these experiments, approximately four moles of methoxypyridoxine counteracted the vitamin activity of one mole of pyridoxine when suboptimal or optimal amounts of the vitamin were given to pyridoxine-deficient chicks.
