Metabolite Identification
Common NameMenadione
DescriptionMenadione, also known as aquinone or vitamin K3, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as naphthoquinones. Naphthoquinones are compounds containing a naphthohydroquinone moiety, which consists of a benzene ring linearly fused to a bezene-1,4-dione (quinone). Menadione is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Menadione exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. Menadione is a potentially toxic compound.
