Application

Menadione sodium bisulfite has been used:
  • as a priming agent in tomato for improving salt tolerance
  • to induce reactive oxygen species (ROS) in human lung epithelium BEAS-2B microtissues
  • to induce endogenous superoxide production in mouse C17.2 neural stem cells

Biochem/physiol Actions

Menadione sodium bisulfite is a water-soluble form of menadione, which belongs to the Vitamin K class of compounds. These are necessary for the biosynthesis of prothrombin and other blood clotting factors. Menadione is a prothrombogenic compound and is used as a model quinone in cell culture and in vivo investigations.

Menadione has been shown to affect gap-junctional intercellular communication by mediation of tyrosine phosphorylation. Menadione has demonstrated cytotoxic activity against a variety of cell lines and can induce apoptosis in cultured cells, such as osteoclasts and osteoblasts, via elevation of peroxide and superoxide radical levels.

An HPLC method for detection of menadione sodium bisulfite in multivitamin formulations has been published. A chemiluminescence assay for menadione sodium bisulfite in pharmaceutical preparations and biological fluids has been reported.

Questions

  1. At what temperature should the solution be stored? Is it acceptable to freeze the solution and thaw it later? If so, can it be re-frozen after thawing, or should freeze-thaw cycles be avoided? What is the shelf-life once diluted in water? 

    1 answer
    1. The solubility and solution stability of this product has not been determined. However, historical data indicate the material is soluble in DMSO at 100 mM. It is recommended to store stock solutions in aliquots, protected from light, at -80 °C. Stock solutions may be filter-sterilized. Note that alkaline and reducing agents will degrade the solution.
