Menadione
This synthetic vitamin K compound (vitamin K3) has been used to treat bleeding disorders caused by vitamin K deficiency, though concerns about causing hemolytic anemia in newborns and G6PD-deficient individuals have led to its replacement by natural vitamin K forms in many applications. In laboratory settings, it is used as a model compound to study oxidative stress.
