4-Deoxypyridoxine is a vitamin B6 antagonist.[1] It may be toxic to developing embryos since it can have negative effects on collagen and elastin during development.[2] The presence of this compound can produce vitamin B6 deficiency, which suppresses the immune system.[3] This immunosuppression can be beneficial in animal models of Trichinella spiralis infections.[4]
