CAS 523-39-7: Menaquinone 9
Description:Menaquinone 9, commonly known as MK-9, is a form of vitamin K2, which is part of the larger family of compounds known as menaquinones. It is characterized by its long isoprenoid side chain, which consists of nine repeating units, contributing to its lipid-soluble nature. MK-9 plays a crucial role in various biological processes, particularly in the synthesis of proteins involved in blood coagulation and bone metabolism. It is synthesized by certain bacteria and can be found in fermented foods, particularly natto, as well as in animal products. Menaquinone 9 is known for its antioxidant properties and potential health benefits, including supporting cardiovascular health and bone density. Its chemical structure includes a naphthoquinone ring, which is essential for its biological activity. MK-9 is generally recognized as safe when consumed in appropriate amounts, but excessive intake may lead to adverse effects. As with other forms of vitamin K, it is important for individuals on anticoagulant therapy to monitor their intake of menaquinones to avoid potential interactions.
