Part Description
LP16112-2 Dicoumarol
Dicoumarol (International Nonproprietary Name) or dicumarol (United States Adopted Name) is an anticoagulant that functions as a Vitamin K antagonist (similar to warfarin, for which it was the inspiration). It is also used in biochemical experiments as an inhibitor of reductases.
Dicoumarol is a natural chemical substance of combinded plant and fungal origin. It is a derivative of coumarin, a substance made by plants that does not itself affect coagulation, but which is (classically) transformed in mouldy feeds by a number of species of fungi into active dicoumarol. Dicoumarol does affect coagulation, and was discovered in mouldy wet sweet-clover hay, as the agent of a naturally occurring bleeding disease in cattle.
It is given only orally, and it acts within two days.
Mechanism of action : it is a competitive inhibitor of Vitamin K preventing the formation of prothrombin. Administration of Vitamin K is the antidote for dicoumarol toxicity. Follow-up is done by measuring the prothrombin time (PT).
Uses: Used along with heparin for the treatment of deep venous thrombosis
