Modification at the 5-Position of 4-Deoxypyridoxol and α⁴-Norpyridoxol

抄録

In an attempt to relate structure to anticoccidial activity, a number of 5-modified analogs of 4-deoxypyridoxol (4-DOP) and α⁴-norpyridoxol have been synthesized and their biological activities examined. The compounds prepared include the 5-(3-hydroxypropyl), 5-(2-hydroxyethyl), 5-(1-hydroxyethyl), formyl and acetyl analogs of 4-DOP, and 5-(3-hydroxypropyl), formyl, ethoxycarbonyl, carbamoyl and hydroxyl analogs of α⁴-norpyridoxol. Among these compounds, 4-deoxyisopyridoxal and α⁴-norisopyridoxal were found to exhibit anticoccidal activity.
