CO-ENZYMES
Shalini N. Barad
Assistant Professor,
Appasaheb Birnale College of Pharmacy.
Introduction:
⦿ In 1911, Funk provide clear evidence of the
validity of vitamin hypothesis.
⦿ Funk has isolated an anti beri-beri factor from
yeast.
⦿ Define:-
• The naturally occurring micronutrients present in food and
are required for normal functioning and growth of the
living organisms are called as a vitamins.
⦿ Classification
A) Fat soluble vitamins: these are soluble in fat and are
stored in liver.
• Their absorption requires presence of bile salts and fats.
I. Vitamin A,
II. Vitamin D,
III. Vitamin E and
IV. Vitamin K
B) Water soluble vitamins: These are soluble in water and
are not stored in body.
-- Water soluble vitamin includes
I. B-complex group and
II. vitamin C.
i)Non B- complex: Vitamin C (Ascorbic acid)
ii)B complex
a) Vitamin B1- Thiamine
b) Vitamin B2- Riboflavin
c) Vitamin B3- Niacin
d) Vitamin B5- Pantothenic acid
e) Vitamin B6- Pyridoxine
f) Vitamin B7/ vit. H- Biotin
g) Vitamin B9- Folic acid
h) Vitamin B12- Cyanocobalamin
1. VITAMIN A:-
⦿ Vit A is bright eye vitamin.
⦿ It is of 2 type: i)vit. A1 = Retinol
Ii) Vit. A2 = Dehydroretinol
⦿ Sources:- Carotenoids are chief source of vit A.
➢ Liver of various fishes are the richest natural
sources.
➢ Other sources are butter, milk, egg, pigmented
vegetable, fruits, egg yolk, etc.
⦿ Structure:- Vit A1
⦿ Vit A2:-
⦿ Both these form are unsaturated alcohol contain
B-ionone ring
⦿ Vit A2 contain additional double bond between
3 & 4 carbon.
⦿ Precursor of Vit A is carotenoids in alpha, beta
& gamma form.
⦿ Vit A2 is less active than Vit A1
Vitamins
• Function of Vit. A:-
1. Vit A is needed for formation of rhodopsin or
visual pigment which is concerned with vision in
dim light.
2. Vit A maintain epithelial cells of the skin & the
linings of digestive , respiratory & genitourinary
system.
3. Vit A acts as an antioxidant thus helpful in
cancer.
4. It stimulate mucous & tear secretion.
5. It act as an factor in tooth & bone formation.
Vitamins
❑ Role of Vitamin A in vision:
• The retina of the eye contains two types of receptor
cells, Rod cells which are responsible for dim light
vision & the cones, responsible for bright light vision .
• Cones are also responsible for colour perception. The
deficiency of cone pigments makes the individual
colour blind.
• In retinal pigments, the rod cells contain rhodopsin.
Under the influence of light, rhodopsin is converted to
lumirhodopsin which is further converted into
metarhodopsin.
• Then hydrolysed to protein opsin & trans retinal.
Trans-Retinal(trans- retinene) is inactive in the
synthesis of rhodopsin, it must be coverted to the
active cis- isomer.
⦿ In the eye, the trans-retinal is reduced to
trans-retinol by the enzyme retinal reductase &
NADH.
⦿ The trans retinol which is too inactive in rhodopsin
synthesis is passed into blood stream, then carried
to liver .
⦿ It is then converted to cis -isomer. In dim light
active cis-retinol from the blood enters the retina
where it is oxidized to cis-retinal by reverse action
of retinal reductase in the presence of NAD+.
⦿ Finally the cis-retinal combines with protein opsin
to give back rhodopsin and thus cycle is repeated.
⦿ The individual having vitamin A deficiency are
unable to resynthesise rhodopsin and thus unable to
see in the dim light and the condition is called
night blindness.
Wald’s Visual Cycle/ Vision cycle
Vitamins
Vitamins
⦿ VitaminA Deficiency:-
1.Xeophthalmia: ( Dryness of eyes )
⦿ Deficiency of vit A causes dryness of eye called as
Xerophthalmia, in which there is thickening & loss of
transparency of conjunctiva with yellowish pigment.
2. Kertomalacia:
⦿ It is a corneal disease in which cornea becomes soft & the
corneal epithelium becomes dry scaly rough & opaque.
⦿ Vit A deficiency causes defective teeth formation.
3. Night blindness/ Nyctalpia:
⦿ As retinol is required in the formation of rhodopsin, in
deficiency of Vit A the capacity to look in dark decreases
hence called as Night Blindness.
4.Growth retardation.
5.Susceptibility to respiratory tract infections.
6. Skin becomes dry, scaly & rough.
2. VITAMIN D:
⦿ Vit D is called as calciferol.
⦿ It is steroidal hormones.
⦿ It is of 3 type:-
i)Vit D1:- Calciferol
Ii) Vit D2 :-Ergocalciferol
Iii) Vit D3:- Cholecalciferol
⦿ Sources- The best natural source of vit D are fish
liver oil.
⦿ Structure- Two nutritionally imp Vit D : Vit D2 &
Vit D3
Vitamins
⦿ Biological active form:
• On exposure to sunlight
• Ergosterol Sunlight Ergocalciferol (plants)

⦿ Hypervitaminosis: (↑Fat soluble Vitamins)
⦿ Hypervitaminosis refers to a condition of
abnormally high storage levels of vitamins, which
can lead to toxic symptoms. The medical names of
the different conditions are derived from the
vitamin involved.
⦿ With few exceptions, like some vitamins from B
complex, hypervitaminosis usually occurs more
with fat-soluble vitamins which are stored in the
liver and fatty tissues of the body. These vitamins
build up and remain for a longer time in the body
than water-soluble vitamins.
⦿ Eg. Hypervitaminosis A, Hypervitaminosis D,
Hypervitaminosis E, Hypervitaminosis K,

which binds to biotin very tightly and prevents its
absorption in the intestine.
⦿ The avidin in egg white may be a defense
mechanism inhibiting growth of bacteria.
⦿ When eggs are cooked avidin gets denatured along
with other egg white proteins.
⦿ biochemical role of pyridoxine/ function of
Pyridoxine:

Vitamins

  • 1. VITAMINS AND CO-ENZYMES Shalini N. Barad Assistant Professor, Appasaheb Birnale College of Pharmacy.
  • 2. Introduction: ⦿ In 1911, Funk provide clear evidence of the validity of vitamin hypothesis. ⦿ Funk has isolated an anti beri-beri factor from yeast.
  • 3. ⦿ Define:- • The naturally occurring micronutrients present in food and are required for normal functioning and growth of the living organisms are called as a vitamins. ⦿ Classification A) Fat soluble vitamins: these are soluble in fat and are stored in liver. • Their absorption requires presence of bile salts and fats. I. Vitamin A, II. Vitamin D, III. Vitamin E and IV. Vitamin K B) Water soluble vitamins: These are soluble in water and are not stored in body. -- Water soluble vitamin includes I. B-complex group and II. vitamin C.
  • 4. i)Non B- complex: Vitamin C (Ascorbic acid) ii)B complex a) Vitamin B1- Thiamine b) Vitamin B2- Riboflavin c) Vitamin B3- Niacin d) Vitamin B5- Pantothenic acid e) Vitamin B6- Pyridoxine f) Vitamin B7/ vit. H- Biotin g) Vitamin B9- Folic acid h) Vitamin B12- Cyanocobalamin
  • 5. 1. VITAMIN A:- ⦿ Vit A is bright eye vitamin. ⦿ It is of 2 type: i)vit. A1 = Retinol Ii) Vit. A2 = Dehydroretinol ⦿ Sources:- Carotenoids are chief source of vit A. ➢ Liver of various fishes are the richest natural sources. ➢ Other sources are butter, milk, egg, pigmented vegetable, fruits, egg yolk, etc. ⦿ Structure:- Vit A1
  • 6. ⦿ Vit A2:- ⦿ Both these form are unsaturated alcohol contain B-ionone ring ⦿ Vit A2 contain additional double bond between 3 & 4 carbon. ⦿ Precursor of Vit A is carotenoids in alpha, beta & gamma form. ⦿ Vit A2 is less active than Vit A1
  • 8. • Function of Vit. A:- 1. Vit A is needed for formation of rhodopsin or visual pigment which is concerned with vision in dim light. 2. Vit A maintain epithelial cells of the skin & the linings of digestive , respiratory & genitourinary system. 3. Vit A acts as an antioxidant thus helpful in cancer. 4. It stimulate mucous & tear secretion. 5. It act as an factor in tooth & bone formation.
  • 10. ❑ Role of Vitamin A in vision: • The retina of the eye contains two types of receptor cells, Rod cells which are responsible for dim light vision & the cones, responsible for bright light vision . • Cones are also responsible for colour perception. The deficiency of cone pigments makes the individual colour blind. • In retinal pigments, the rod cells contain rhodopsin. Under the influence of light, rhodopsin is converted to lumirhodopsin which is further converted into metarhodopsin. • Then hydrolysed to protein opsin & trans retinal. Trans-Retinal(trans- retinene) is inactive in the synthesis of rhodopsin, it must be coverted to the active cis- isomer.
  • 11. ⦿ In the eye, the trans-retinal is reduced to trans-retinol by the enzyme retinal reductase & NADH. ⦿ The trans retinol which is too inactive in rhodopsin synthesis is passed into blood stream, then carried to liver . ⦿ It is then converted to cis -isomer. In dim light active cis-retinol from the blood enters the retina where it is oxidized to cis-retinal by reverse action of retinal reductase in the presence of NAD+. ⦿ Finally the cis-retinal combines with protein opsin to give back rhodopsin and thus cycle is repeated. ⦿ The individual having vitamin A deficiency are unable to resynthesise rhodopsin and thus unable to see in the dim light and the condition is called night blindness.
  • 12. Wald’s Visual Cycle/ Vision cycle
  • 15. ⦿ VitaminA Deficiency:- 1.Xeophthalmia: ( Dryness of eyes ) ⦿ Deficiency of vit A causes dryness of eye called as Xerophthalmia, in which there is thickening & loss of transparency of conjunctiva with yellowish pigment. 2. Kertomalacia: ⦿ It is a corneal disease in which cornea becomes soft & the corneal epithelium becomes dry scaly rough & opaque. ⦿ Vit A deficiency causes defective teeth formation. 3. Night blindness/ Nyctalpia: ⦿ As retinol is required in the formation of rhodopsin, in deficiency of Vit A the capacity to look in dark decreases hence called as Night Blindness. 4.Growth retardation. 5.Susceptibility to respiratory tract infections. 6. Skin becomes dry, scaly & rough.
