Phytomenadione, also known as vitamin K1 or phylloquinone, is a vitamin found in food and used as a dietary supplement.[3][1] As a supplement it is used to treat certain bleeding disorders.[1] This includes warfarin overdose, vitamin K deficiency, and obstructive jaundice.[1] It is also recommended to prevent and treat vitamin K deficiency bleeding in infants.[1] Use is typically recommended by mouth or injection under the skin.[1] Use by injection into a vein or muscle is recommended only when other routes are not possible.[1] When given by injection benefits are seen within two hours.[1]

Common side effects when given by injection include pain at the site of injection and altered taste.[1] Severe allergic reactions may occur when it is injected into a vein or muscle.[1] It is unclear if use during pregnancy is safe; however, use is likely okay during breastfeeding.[4] It works by supplying a required component for making a number of blood clotting factors.[1] Found sources include green vegetables, vegetable oil, and some fruit.[5]

Phytomenadione was first isolated in 1939.[6] In 1943 Edward Doisy and Henrik Dam were given a Nobel Prize for its discovery.[6] It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines.[7] The wholesale cost in the developing world is about 0.11 to 1.27 USD for a 10 mg vial.[8] In the United States a course of treatment costs less than 25 USD.[9]

Medical uses

Dosage

The defined daily dose is 20 milligrams by injection or by mouth.[2] For prevention of bleeding in the newborn it is used at a dose of 0.5 mg by injection for those who weight less than 1.5 kg and 1 mg for those who weight more.[10] For treatment of bleeding in the newborn it is used at a dose of 1 mg three times per day.[10]

Terminology

Phytomenadione is often also called phylloquinone, vitamin K,[11] or phytonadione. Sometimes a distinction is made between phylloquinone, which is considered to be a natural substance, and phytonadione, which is considered to be a synthetic substance.[12]

A stereoisomer of phylloquinone is called vitamin k1 (note the difference in capitalization).[citation needed]

Chemistry

Vitamin K is a fat-soluble vitamin that is stable in air and moisture but decomposes in sunlight. It is a polycyclic aromatic ketone, based on 2-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone, with a 3-phytyl substituent. It is found naturally in a wide variety of green plants, particularly in leaves, since it functions as an electron acceptor during photosynthesis, forming part of the electron transport chain of photosystem I.[13][14]

The best-known function of vitamin K in animals is as a cofactor in the formation of coagulation factors II (prothrombin), VII, IX, and X by the liver. It is also required for the formation of anticoagulant factors protein C and S. It is commonly used to treat warfarin toxicity, and as an antidote for coumatetralyl.

Vitamin K is required for bone protein formation.

Biosynthesis

The biosynthesis of vitamin K1 via the transformation of chorismate occurs in nine steps.

Vitamin K1 is synthesized from chorismate, a compound produced from shikimate via the shikimate pathway. The conversion of chorismate to vitamin K1 comprises a series of nine steps:[15][16]

  1. Chorismate is isomerized to isochorismate by isochorismate synthase, or MenF (menaquinone enzyme).
  2. Addition of 2-oxoglutarate to isochorismate by PHYLLO, a multifunctional protein comprising three different enzymatic activities (MenD, H, and C).
  3. Elimination of pyruvate by PHYLLO.
  4. Aromatization to yield o-succinyl benzoate by PHYLLO.
  5. O-succinylbenzoate activation to corresponding CoA ester by MenE.
  6. Naphthoate ring formation by naphthoate synthase (MenB/NS).
  7. Thiolytic release of CoA by a thioesterase (MenH).
  8. Attachment of phytol chain to the naphthoate ring (MenA/ABC4).
  9. Methylation of the precursor at position 3 (MenG).
