Fieser, Louis F. published the artcileVitamin K activity and structure, SDS of cas: 1949-41-3, the publication is Journal of Biological Chemistry (1941), 659-92, database is CAplus.
The vitamin K activity of various quinones (uniform testing technique was used) was re?xamd., these results superseding all previous data (C. A. 34, 1649.8, 3724.3, 7895.4-5, 6336.7). 2-Methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone (I) was 3.3 times as effective as synthetic K1. The following group of 2,3-disubstituted 1,4-naphthoquinones had the min. EDs indicated: 2-methyl-3-phytyl, 2-methyl-3-farnesyl, 2-methyl-3-(¦Â,¦Ã-dihydrophytyl), 2-methyl-3-geranyl, 2-methyl-3-cinnamyl, 2-methyl-3-(¦Â,¦Ã,¦Ã,-trimethylallyl), 2,3-di-Me, 2-methyl-3-benzyl, 2-methyl-3-hydrocinnamyl: 1, 5, 8, 25, 25, 50, 50, 200 and 300 ¦Ã, resp. The dihydro K1 with an activity of 8 was much more active than previous reports indicated (C. A. 34, 5437.7, 5493.4). Comparison of ¦Â-alkenyl derivatives shows that activity increases with length of chain to 20 C atoms, after which it is little affected by further increase in length. Of the monosubstituted 1,4-naphthoquinones, I, phytyl, farnesyl, ¦Â,¦Ã-dihydrophytyl, allyl, geranyl, Et and Pr were effective in doses of 0.3, 50, 500, 600, 800 and 1000 ¦Ã, resp., the last two being inactive. EDs for other 1,4-naphthoquinones were as follows: 2-ethyl-3-phytyl, 2,3-diallyl, and 2,7-di-Me, 1000 ¦Ã; 2,5-di-Me and 2,8-di-Me, 500 ¦Ã (slight); 2,6-dimethyl-3-phytyl, 2,6-di-Me, 6,7-di-Me, inactive at 1000. 1,1-Dimethyl-3-tert-butyl- and 2-(¦Ä-methyl-¦Ã-pentenyl)-1,4-dihydroanthraquinones were inactive at 1000 ¦Ã. Of the naphthoquinones containing O substituents, plumbagin and phthiocol had EDs at 400 and 500 ¦Ã, resp., while juglone, lawsone, lapachol, 2-¦Â-heptenyl-3-hydroxy-, 2-farnesyl-3-hydroxy-, and 2-methyl-3-(¦Ã-hydroxydihydrophytyl)-1,4-naphthoquinone, were inactive at 1000 ¦Ã, as was also hydroquinone diacetate; 2-methyl-3-carbethoxy-1,4-naphthohydroquinone, however, showed an ED of 25 ¦Ã, presumably because of conversion into 2-methylnaphthoquinone. Many of the oxides prepared from the quinones are active: vitamin K1, I, 2,3-dimethyl-, 2-methyl-3-cinnamyl-, 2-phytyl-, 2-farnesyl- and 2,7-dimethyl-1,4-naphthoquinone oxides had EDs of 1.2, 5, 25, 150, 200, 1000 ¦Ã and inactive, resp. Vitamin K oxide is much less affected by light than the quinone form. Exposure to sunlight for 2 h. decreased the activity of the latter 90%, and of the former 30%. The vitamin may exist as the oxide in green plants. 2-Methyl-2-phytyl-2,3-dihydro-1,4-naphthoquinone and naphthotocopherol required 50 and 500 ¦Ã, resp., for an ED. The latter is of particular interest because it shows both vitamin E and vitamin K activity. Of the ethers and esters of 1,4-naphthohydroquinones (II), the Na salts of the 2-methyl-II diphosphoric acid ester, 2-methyl-II disulfuric acid ester, and 2,3-dimethyl-II disulfuric acid ester required for ED 0.5, 2 and 500 ¦Ã given orally (0.5 and 1-2 i.v.); vitamin K hydroquinone diphosphoric acid, 50 ¦Ã given orally, 10 i.v.; disulfuric acid ester, K salt, inactive at 500 ¦Ã. The following organic esters and ethers of 2-methyl-1,4-naphthohydroquinone had the ED indicated: di-Ac, di-Bz, dimesitoate, mono-Et ether, di-Me ether, dibenzyl ether, 1, 1, 300, 1, 5 and 7 ¦Ã, resp. 5,8-Dihydro- and ¦Â,¦Ã,5,6,7,8-hexahydrovitamin K1, 5,8-dihydro-I, 5,8,9,10-tetrahydro-I and 5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-I had EDs of 4, 1000, 6, 8 and 500 ¦Ã, resp. The following naphthols and tetralones likewise showed high activity where biol. conversion to I could occur: I, 2-methyl-, 3-methyl-, and 4-methyl-1-naphthol, 1-methyl-, 3-methyl-2-naphthol, 1-naphthol, 2-methyl-, and 3-methyl-1-tetralone, 2-methyl-1-naphthylamine, 2-methylnaphthalene (II) and ¦Á-methyl-¦Ã-phenylbutyric acid (III) had the following EDs: 0.5, 1, 0.6, next 3 inactive at 1000, 1000, 0.6, 1, 5, 1000 and inactive at 1000 ¦Ã, resp. The organism does not appear able to oxidize II effectively or to cyclize III. The 2- and 3-methyltetralones are the stages furthest removed from the vitamin which are effectively converted to it by the organism.
