Metabolite Identification
Common NamePiperideine
DescriptionPiperideine is a cyclic amine belonging to the chemical class of piperidines. Its structure features a six-membered ring containing one nitrogen atom, which is crucial for its biological activity. Piperideine is involved in lysine catabolism, where it forms Δ1-piperideine-6-carboxylic acid (P6C), a metabolite that has been implicated in various neurological disorders, including pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy due to ALDH7A1 deficiency. This condition leads to the accumulation of toxic intermediates like α-aminoadipic semialdehyde and P6C, which can disrupt vitamin B6 homeostasis by sequestering its vitamers into inert complexes (PMID:40671330 ). Elevated levels of P6C are linked to neurological symptoms, making its quantification in biological fluids essential for diagnosis (PMID:39900492 ). Furthermore, piperideine-6-carboxylic acid has been shown to regulate vitamin B6 homeostasis and modulate systemic immunity in plants (PMID:40033073 ). The understanding of piperideine's role in these biochemical pathways underscores its significance in both human health and plant biology, highlighting the interconnectedness of metabolic processes across different organisms.
