Introduction
Menadione is an organic compound with the formula C6H4(CO)2C2H(CH3). It is an analog of 1,4-naphthoquinone with a methyl group in the 2-position. It is occasionally used as a nutritional supplement because of its vitamin K activity. It is sometimes called vitamin K3, although derivatives of naphthoquinone are not naturally occurring chemicals and therefore do not qualify as vitamins, and without the side chain in the 2-position they cannot exert all the functions of the K vitamins. Menadione is metabolized by the human body into K2 which uses alkylation to yield menaquinones (MK-n, n=1-13; K2 vitamers), hence is better classified as a provitamin.
It is also known as "menaphthone".
Functions and Applications
- vitamin A, pharmaceutical intermediates, etc.
- Vitamin C can enhance blood vessel organization and reduce blood cholesterol levels. It has good preventive and therapeutic effects on arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease and adult diseases such as hypertension and stroke. In the absence of vitamin C, cholesterol is not easily broken down into bile acids, which increases serum cholesterol levels and can easily lead to vascular atherosclerosis and thrombosis.
