D007778	Lactobacillus	A genus of gram-positive, microaerophilic, rod-shaped bacteria occurring widely in nature. Its species are also part of the many normal flora of the mouth, intestinal tract, and vagina of many mammals, including humans. Lactobacillus species are homofermentative and ferment a broad spectrum of carbohydrates often host-adapted but do not ferment PENTOSES. Most members were previously assigned to the Lactobacillus delbrueckii group. Pathogenicity from this genus is rare.
D009285	Naphthoquinones	Naphthalene rings which contain two ketone moieties in any position. They can be substituted in any position except at the ketone groups.	Naphthalenediones,Naphthazarins,Naphthoquinone
D012176	Retinoids	A group of tetraterpenes, with four terpene units joined head-to-tail. Biologically active members of this class are used clinically in the treatment of severe cystic ACNE; PSORIASIS; and other disorders of keratinization.	Retinoid
D014812	Vitamin K	A lipid cofactor that is required for normal blood clotting. Several forms of vitamin K have been identified: VITAMIN K 1 (phytomenadione) derived from plants, VITAMIN K 2 (menaquinone) from bacteria, and synthetic naphthoquinone provitamins, VITAMIN K 3 (menadione). Vitamin K 3 provitamins, after being alkylated in vivo, exhibit the antifibrinolytic activity of vitamin K. Green leafy vegetables, liver, cheese, butter, and egg yolk are good sources of vitamin K.
D024483	Vitamin K 3	A synthetic naphthoquinone without the isoprenoid side chain and biological activity, but can be converted to active vitamin K2, menaquinone, after alkylation in vivo.	Menadione,2-Methyl-1,4-naphthalenedione,2-Methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone,2-Methylnaphthoquinone,Menadione Bisulfite,Menadione Sodium Bisulfite,Menadione Sodium Bisulfite, Trihydrate,Vicasol,Vikasol,Vitamin K3,Vitamin K3 Sodium Bisulfite,Bisulfite, Menadione,Bisulfite, Menadione Sodium,Sodium Bisulfite, Menadione
