Intermediate of the futalosine pathway (the alternative pathway of menaquinone biosynthesis) Futalosine [CAS: 210644-32-9]

Date:June 02 2026Web Page No:549084

Futalosine is a natural nucleoside analogue which was isolated as a new compound from Streptomyces by Dr. Hosokawa in Institute of Microbial Chemistry (Bikaken) in 1999.1) Dr. Dairi in Toyama Prefectural University elucidated that futalosine was an intermediate of an alternative pathway in menaquinone (vitamin K2) biosynthesis in in some bacteria including Streptomyces coelicolor, Helicobacter pylori, Campylobacter jejuni, and Thermus therophilus. This news menaquinone synthetic pathway was named as the futalosine pathway.2) This compound is a useful tool for studies of the menaquinone synthetic pathway, or the futalosine pathway in pharmacological, medical, and biological studies.
