Synthesis of 2-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinones with higher gamma-glutamyl carboxylase activity than MK-4 both in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract:

:Vitamin K is the collective term for compounds that share a 2-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone ring, but differ in the side-chain at the 3-position. We synthesized novel 2-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone derivatives with different side chain length at the 3-position. Derivatives with C-14 and C-16 tails showed the highest in vitro bioactivity resulting in 2.5 and 2-fold higher carboxylated osteocalcin synthesis in MG63 cells than menaquinone-4 (MK-4, form of vitamin K2). Longer side chain lengths resulted in lower bioactivity. The in vivo vitamin K activity of the C-14 tail derivative was further tested in WKY rats receiving a vitamin K-deficient diet that resulted in a 40% decrease of prothrombin activity. The C-14 tail derivative was able to counteract the effects on vitamin K deficiency induced by the diet and resulted in the complete restoration of prothrombin activity. Compared to naturally occurring forms of vitamin K, synthetic vitamin K derivatives may have higher bioactivity and different pharmacological characteristics that are more favorable for use as supplements or in clinical settings.
