Vitamin B6 is vital for brain function, with deficiency linked to memory issues and depression. Supplementing B6 alone isn't sufficient. Research shows blocking the enzyme pyridoxal phosphatase raises cellular B6 levels - possibly offering novel ways to treat mental and neurodegenerative disorders.

7,8-Dihydroxyflavone is a direct inhibitor of human and murine pyridoxal phosphatase
Direct inhibition of pyridoxal phosphatase activity by 7,8-dihydroxyflavone indicates a pharmacological entry point into brain disorders associated with vitamin B6 deficiency.
A notable proportion of Parkinson's disease diagnoses are corrected, as up to one in six diagnoses changed after ten years of follow-up. Majority of the diagnostic changes occur within the first two years of diagnosis, which demonstrates the difficulty of distinguishing it from similar disorders.
