Menadione bisulfite is a water-soluble analog of Vitamin K3. Pharmacologic studies on menadione bisulfate indicad that its toxicity is relatively low. In man, doses approximately ten times as great as those generally recommended for therapeutic use, given daily for a period of one week. Redox cycling compounds, such as menadione, have the potential to effectively mitigate the toxicity of organophosphorus pesticides including parathion. Menadione bisulfite behaved as a competitive inhibitor of chicken muscle aldose reductase.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide

5 mg. Therapy, averaging thirty days, was continued until the withdrawal of metlication produced no recurrence of symptoms.

Route of Administration: Oral

In Vitro Use Guide

Addition of menadione bisulfite (3 mM) alone to the perfusate increased oxygen uptake by 20-30 uM/g/hr. In the presence of ethanol, maximal increases in oxygen uptake due to menadione bisulfite were much larger (about 90 uM/g/hr), and lactate dehydrogenase release occurred earlier and reached higher maximal values (330 units/g/hr).
