Abstract:A unique electron-accepting analog of vitamin K found in photosystem I in several species of oxygenic photosynthetic microorganisms was confirmed to be 5'-hydroxyphylloquinone (1) through stereo-uncontrolled synthesis. Furthermore, the stereochemistry of 1 obtained from Synechococcus sp. PCC 7942 was assigned to be 5'S using proline-catalyzed stereocontrolled reactions.
“…However, the biochemical synthesis pathway in vivo in photosynthetic organisms is still not completely clear. 24 In this work, the tested vitamin K isoforms displayed different potency on the reduction of the neutral lipid reservoirs in the zebrafish model, and this lipid reducing activity of the vitamin K1-analogue was reported for the first time. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report assessing the potential of OH-PhQ on any bioactivity not related to photosynthetic functions.…”

“…Stereoisomeric mixtures and asymmetric synthesis were used to aid the stereochemical assignment of the hydroxy group at C-5 1 ′ position. 24 The elucidation of the 5′ S -OH conformation was successful, however the stereochemistry of the groups at positions C-7′ and C-11′ was assumed to be the same as from the natural K1 vitamin, meaning that the hydroxy group protons have an α orientation and the carbons R conformation. The ROESY correlations allowed the confirmation of the 5′ S -OH designation, which revealed that the hydroxy group was on the same side of the molecule plane as the carbons at C-1′ and C-2′ positions and on the opposite position of C-7 1 ′ (App.…”

Vitamin K isoforms are known as co-factors for the synthesis of blood-clotting proteins, but several other bioactivities were reported. In this work, we isolated a vitamin K1-analogue (OH-PhQ) from the...
