Menadione
Menadione (Vitamin K3) is a synthetic provitamin lacking the isoprenoid side chain. It serves as a precursor, being alkylated in vivo to form biologically active menaquinone (Vitamin K2) . This compound is used in research on coagulation, bone metabolism, and oxidative stress in both cellular and animal models.
