Vitamin K1 2,3-epoxide is a vitamin K derivative. It is a fat soluble vitamin produced by plants. Vitamin K is essential for blood coagulation. Vitamin K is rarely deficient in a human diet since it is continually recycled in our cells. Vitamin K 2,3-epoxide acts as a substrate for vitamin K 2,3-epoxide reductase (VKOR) complex. Elevated levels of serum vitamin K epoxide in patients is associated with familial multiple coagulation factor deficiency.

A highly sensitive method for measuring endogenous vitamin K1, menaquinone-4 (which is one of the K2 vitamins) and vitamin K1 2,3-epoxide in human plasma was developed, based on high-performance liquid chromatography with coulometric reduction and fluorimetric detection, following extraction from

It seems that cephalosporins bearing a N-methyl-thio-tetrazole or a methyl-thiadiazole moiety in their molecule can cause hypoprothombinemia in patients via inhibition of the metabolism of vitamin K1 if they are in addition in a vitamin K1-deficient state. The authors therefore
