Difenacoum

Descriptions
Difenacoum is an anticoagulant of the 4-hydroxycoumarin vitamin K antagonist type. It has anticoagulant effects and is used commercially as a rodenticide. Difenacoum is sold as blue-green pellets intended to be ingested by pests such as rats and mice. Because other species of mammals and birds may prey upon affected rodents, there is a risk of secondary or tertiary exposure.Using radiolabeled isotopes, difenacoum (and/or its metabolites) has been shown to be distributed across many organ tissues upon oral ingestion, with the highest concentrations occurring in the liver and pancreas.

Anticoagulant rodenticides, such as brodifacoum, bromadiolone, coumafuryl, coumatetralyl, difenacoum, diphacinone, difethialone, and chlorophacinone, are effective pesticides for reducing pest rodent populations and associated damage. The wide use of them has led to testing for suspected intoxication in both domestic animals and human beings in accidental and intentional cases. Most human cases are related to accidental consumption by young children, intentional ingestion, or occupational exposure to these toxins. Source: Regenstrief LOINC, PMID: 20529461
