Metabolite Identification
Common NameVitamin K1
DescriptionPhylloquinone, also known as mephyton or vitamin K1, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as vitamin k compounds. These are quinone lipids containing a methylated naphthoquinone ring structure, and vary in the aliphatic side chain attached at the 3-position. Phylloquinone exists as a solid, possibly soluble (in water), and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa) molecule. Phylloquinone exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans.
