The influence of 8 analogues of 3-hydroxypyridine upon the phosphodiesterase of rod outer segments of frog retinae has been investigated. It has been shown that the analogues of 3-hydroxypyridine inhibit the enzeme reversely and noncompetitively in case of hydrolysis towards the cAMP and cGMP. The natural analogues of 3-hydroxypyridine (pyridoxol, pyridoxale, pyridoxale-phosphate) do not exert the inhibiting effect. It is suggested that the inhibition of phosphodiesterase from rod outer segments of retinae is caused by the interaction of 3-hydroxypyridines with the hydrophobic microenvironment of the active site of the enzyme.
