Pyridoxal 5′-phosphate severely inhibits the DNA Polymerase and RNase H. Pyridoxal phosphate results in an imnediate reduction in the rate of DNA synthesis[1]. Conjugation to pyridoxal phosphate fully inhibits NEIL2. Pyridoxal phosphate-conjugated NEIL2 shows much lower activity than the intact enzyme over a wide range of enzyme/substrate ratios. After Pyridoxal phosphate conjugation, the ability of NEIL2 to bind the THF-ligand is completely lost[2].
Pyridoxal phosphate (500 μM, 24 h) activates the ERK/c-Jun signaling pathway, promotes the expression of IGFBP1 protein in HepG2 cells[3].
Pyridoxal phosphate (0.5 mg/mL, 48h) inhibits the proliferation of cancer cells SK-OV-3 and OVCAR-3[5].

Pyridoxal phosphate (600 mg/kg/day, po for 16 weeks) inhibits the formation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), and prevents the progression of diabetic nephropathy in Streptozotocin (HY-13753)-induced rats diabetes model[6].
