Abstract

A study of the reduction of pyridoxal-5'-phosphate in a mercury electrode in buffered ethanol + water solutions was carried out. At low ethanol content, the polarographic and voltammetric results show a slight kinetic effect in the limiting zone. The absorption spectra show a decrease of the free aldehyde concentration as the ethanol content increases. Hemiacetal formation is indicated by an increase in the absorption band at 295 nm. The band was characterized on the basis of a log normal distribution and a quantitative determination of species in solution was obtained. At high ethanol content, pure kinetic control is observed in the limiting zone, due to the hydrolysis of hemiacetal to aldehyde. Equilibrium and rate constants of the chemical reaction preceding the electrode process were obtained. The results of logarithmic analysis, i-t curves, Tafel plot, differential pulse polarography and cyclic voltammetry correspond to a prekinetic irreversible process.

Voltammetry of polyprotic acids at platinum microelectrodes: Reduction of pyridoxal-5′-phosphate
1997, Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry
A voltammetric study of proton reduction from aqueous solution of pyridoxal-5′-phosphate (PLP) is carried out at Pt microdisc electrodes. Steady-state waves for the reduction of the solvated proton and some acid forms of PLP are observed in the concentration interval investigated. The effect of the acid concentration, the electrode size and the influence of the supporting electrolyte on the limiting current, half-wave potential and shape of the wave, are analyzed in view of theoretical predictions for strong and weak polyproptic acids.
Electrochemical reduction of the final product of vitamin B-6 catabolism: A spectroscopic characterization of the reduced products of 4-pyridoxic acid
1996, Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry
Electroreduction of 4-pyridoxic acid (PA), the final product of vitamin B-6 catabolism, is investigated at neutral pH. The course of the exhaustive electrolysis is monitored by cyclic voltammetry and UV-visible spectroscopy. The electroreduction corresponds to an exchange of four electrons per reagent molecule. The isolation and identification of the reduction products are achieved by column chromatography, ¹H-NMR and mass spectrometries. A mixture of two different 2-methyl-3-hydroxy-pyridine derivatives (ratio 2:1) is formed during the electroreduction. The absorption and emission properties of these products match those of other derivatives bearing the basic ring and substituents. The results strongly support an electroreduction involving hemiacetal ring cleavage in place of aldehyde group as an intermediate step in the four electron process. This means a significant difference with other activated monocarboxylic acids and may involve no formation of pyridoxal aldehyde and pyridoxine. The formation of pyridoxal hydrate from PA by a two-electron transfer and its further transformation into hemiacetal seems to play an essential role at the electrode surface.
An electrochemical contribution to the study of catalytic transimination: Schiff base of pyridoxal phosphate with ethylamine and ethylenediamine
1994, Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry
The reactions between pyridoxal phosphate (PLP) and ethylamine (Et) and ethylenediamine (Etd) were studied in buffered aqueous solution. The formation of Schiff bases by reversible reaction was observed in each case according to the electrochemical results. The presence of a cyclic geminaldiamine and/or enol tautomer of the Schiff base was detected in the reaction of PLP with Etd by comparing polarographic and voltammetric results of both reactions. The increase in stability of the Schiff base as diprotonated species, as well as the difference in which nitrogen on the Schiff base undergoes a fast protonation are associated with the presence and reduction of the enol tautomer. This implies a deviation from normal behaviour of the PLP Schiff base in aqueous solution. The results suggest that a very fast conversion of geminaldiamine to Schiff base takes place at the electrode with monoprotonated and unprotonated species. The presence of a second amino group in the ethylenediamine moiety of the Schiff base PLP-Etd essentially does not modify the ECE-Disp2 mechanism in strong basic media.
