Menadione (Vitamin K3) is a synthetic naphthoquinone without the isoprenoid side chain and biological activity, but can be converted to active vitamin K2, menaquinone, after alkylation in vivo.

Vitamin K3-d8 is a deuterated derivative of Vitamin K3, and Vitamin K3-d8, like Menadione (Vitamin K3), is a synthetic naphthoquinone lacking the isoprenoid side chain and intrinsic biological activity; however, Vitamin K3-d8 can be enzymatically converted into active Vitamin K2 (menaquinone) following in vivo alkylation, supporting research into vitamin K metabolism, biochemical labeling studies, and isotope-tracer investigations in metabolic and nutritional sciences.

Vitamin K3-d3 is a deuterated compound of Vitamin K3. Vitamin K3 has a CAS number of 58-27-5. Menadione is a synthetic naphthoquinone without the isoprenoid side chain and biological activity, but can be converted to active vitamin K2, menaquinone, after alkylation in vivo.
