Phytonadione Separation by Shape Selectivity

In this Method, we separate the two E and Z isomers of Phytonadione on the basis of shape selectivity. The below chromatogram is a five injection overlay with a resolution value of 1.5. 
 

Peaks:  1. Impurity,   2. Phytonadione (E isomer),   3. Phytonadione (Z isomer),

Note: Phytonadione (a.k.a. Phylloquinone, Vitamin K1) is a lipophilic vitamin that can be obtained in the diet from leafy green vegetables. It plays an essential role in blood clotting by acting as a cofactor for formation of coagulation factors II, VII, IX, and X. The letter designation for Vitamin K was based on the first letter of “Koagulationsvitamin” (coagulation vitamin), which is from the German journal that first published its identification by Danish biochemist Henrik Dam.
