Vitamin K4 Use and Manufacturing

2-methyl-l, 4-naphthoquinone (1) (20.0 g) was dissolved in ethyl acetate (200 g). Acetic anhydride (29.65 g), DMAP (1.42 g) and Pd/C (0.6 g) were added. The mixture was stirred at room temperature under hydrogen overnight. Pd/ C was filtered out and the filtered liquor was washed with brine. The organic layer was concentrating and recrystallized in water (60 g) and IPA (80 g) solution, thereby obtaining 28.0 g of the title compound as white crystals (yield: 84.2percent, HPLC purity: 99.8percent). The compound was characterized by 'H-NMR: δ 2.27, s, 3H; 2.46, s, 3H; 2.50, s, 3H; 7.27, s, 1H; 7.55-7.62, m, 2H; 7.85-7.89, d, 2H.2-methyl-l, 4-naphthoquinone (1) (20.0 g) was dissolved in ethyl acetate (200 g). Acetic anhydride (29.65 g), DMAP (1.42 g) and Pd/C (0.6 g) were added. The mixture was stirred at room temperature under hydrogen overnight.

Drug Function and Efficacy

Vitamin K is a necessary substance for the liver to synthesize coagulation factors II, VII, IX, and X. Vitamin K deficiency can cause synthesis disorders of these coagulation factors, clinically manifested by bleeding tendency and prolonged prothrombin time. The exact mechanism by which vitamin K promotes the synthesis of factors II, VII, IX, and X has not yet been elucidated.

This ingredient has been used in drugs with the following functions (note: it does not mean that the ingredient itself has the following health functions)
