• Name: (4E,8E,12E,16E)-Ethyl 2-acetyl-5,9,13,17,21-pentamethyl-2-((2E,6E,10E,14E)-3,7,11,15,19-pentamethylicosa-2,6,10,14,18-pentaen-1-yl)docosa-4,8,12,16,20-pentaenoate

Description

Applications (4E,8E,12E,16E)-Ethyl 2-acetyl-5,9,13,17,21-pentamethyl-2-((2E,6E,10E,14E)-3,7,11,15,19-pentamethylicosa-2,6,10,14,18-pentaen-1-yl)docosa-4,8,12,16,20-pentaenoate is an impurity in the synthesis of Menaquinone 6 (M218590). Menaquinones are isoprenoid quinones of the naphthalene series and belongs to the K2 Vitamin homologs. Menaquinones were originally discovered as the anti-hemorrhagic factor and now encompasses a variety of physiological processes. Menaquinone-6 were the major isoprenoid quinones found in membrane preparations of Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter fetus.
