Pyridoxamine: The Many Virtues of a Maillard Reaction Inhibitor

Abstract: Pyridoxamine (PM) is one of three natural forms of vitamin B6. It is a critical transient intermediate in catalysis of transamination reactions by vitamin B6-dependent enzymes. The discovery eight years ago that PM can inhibit the Maillard reaction stimulated new interest in this B6 vitamer as a prospective pharmacological agent for treatment of complications of diabetes. PM application in diabetic nephropathy has now progressed to a phase III clinical trial. Investigation of the PM mechanism of action demonst… Show more

“…Our results demonstrate that pyridoxamine does not offer any advantage over aminoguanidine in inhibiting diabetic nephropathy. In addition to inhibition of AGE formation, aminoguanidine is known as an effective free radical scavenger (31), and pyridoxamine has the capacity to scavenge toxic carbonyl products (32). Thus, whereas both aminoguanidine and pyridoxamine inhibit AGE accumulation, additional beneficial properties cannot be excluded.…”

“…Pyridoxamine (PM), one of three natural forms of vitamin B6, was also reported to inhibit the Maillard reaction and PM application in diabetic nephropathy has now progressed to a phase III clinical trials. PM inhibits post-Amadori steps of the Maillard reaction by sequestering catalytic metal ions and blocking the oxidative degradation of Amadori intermediates [190]. Besides vitamin E and PM, α-lipoic acid (ALA) also possesses a strong antioxidant properties [191].…”

“…39 The vitamin B6 derivative pyridoxamine (registered as Pyridorin) is a postAmadori inhibitor 192 that traps reactive carbonyl and dicarbonyl compounds derived from Amadori compounds, thereby reducing AGE accumulation. 193,194 Pyridoxamine also scavenges ROS and chelates metal ions (oxidation catalysts). In diabetic rats, pyridoxamine has been shown to decrease AGE and calcification.…”
