Two vitamin K analogues bearing a carboxylic acid side chain (9a and 9b) have been synthesised and coupled to N-acetyl-Gly-l-Lys methyl ester, lysozyme and bovine serum albumin (BSA) as a first step to the development of an ELISA-based method for the detection of vitamin K. The protein conjugates have been characterised by ESMS and LC-MS. Two vitamin K analogues bearing a carboxylic acid side chain (9a and its deuterated analogue 9b) were each synthesised in six steps from commercially available menadione. Analogue 9b was conjugated to lysozyme and bovine serum albumin (BSA) using EDCI/HOBT and by prior formation of its activated succinimidyl ester 11. Quantification of the thus formed conjugates by ESMS and LC-MS revealed that the number of equivalents of the analogue used in the couplings systematically controls the number of analogues that conjugate to the protein.

Here we report a practical and efficient method for the synthesis of menaquinone vitamin (K2) analog MK-6 in all trans forms through “1 + 5 convergent synthetic approach” of pentaprenyl chloride with monoprenyl menadione derivative. In the synergistic factors, less efficient leaving group/more efficient nucleophile (Cl) in the substrate makes it more prominent reaction by eliminating all Sn2’ side reaction products. Further, the addition of acetic acid in the last step (desulfonation) of reaction sequence removes the limitations of the reactions in terms of cyclized side product (multiple reactions of pentaprenyl alcohol with Et3B), byproduct (Et3B, incendiary compound) formations and their interruption in the tricky purification processes. The utility of this method was further extended to find an efficient one-pot synthesis to MK-9 to the gram scale synthesis. This approach is economical and efficient and avoids the awkward chromatographic separation processes.

3-Benzylmenadiones are potent antimalarial agents that are thought to act through their 3-benzoylmenadione metabolites as redox cyclers of two essential targets: the NADPH-dependent glutathione reductases (GRs) of Plasmodium-parasitized erythrocytes and m
