warfarin

Warfarin (Coumafene) is a vitamin K antagonist, and it works by blocking the action of vitamin K, which is necessary for the synthesis of clotting factors in the liver. Warfarin blocks the action of vitamin K by inhibiting the enzyme gamma-glutamyl carboxylase, which is responsible for the carboxylation of glutamate residues in the clotting factors. This prevents the production of functional clotting factors, leading to an anticoagulant effect.

An anticoagulant that acts by inhibiting the synthesis of vitamin K-dependent coagulation factors. Warfarin is indicated for the prophylaxis and or treatment of venous thrombosis and its extension, pulmonary embolism, and atrial fibrillation with embolization. It is also used as an adjunct in the prophylaxis of systemic embolism after myocardial infarction. Warfarin is also used as a rodenticide.

(S)-Warfarin is a more effective enantiomer of Warfarin. It is used as a vitamin K antagonist, with anticoagulant.

Dehydro warfarin, a metabolite of (±)-warfarin, is formed by rat liver microsomes from (±)-warfarin.

6-Hydroxywarfarin, a metabolite of (+)-warfarin, acts as a weak vitamin K antagonist.

10-hydroxy Warfarin is a metabolite of (R)-warfarin .1It is formed from (R)-warfarin by the cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoform CYP3A4. 10-hydroxy Warfarin is an inhibitor of CYP2C9 (IC50= 1.6 μM), the enzyme that converts (S)-warfarin to its 6-hydroxy warfarin and 7-hydroxy warfarin metabolites.2 1.Kaminsky, L.S., and Zhang, Z.-Y.Human P450 metabolism of warfarinPharmacol.

(S)-Warfarin-d5 is a deuterated compound of (S)-Warfarin.

R-(+)-Warfarin-d5 is a deuterated compound of R-(+)-Warfarin.

Warfarin-d5 is a deuterated compound of Warfarin.

7-Hydroxy Warfarin-d5 is a deuterated compound of 7-Hydroxy Warfarin. 7-Hydroxy Warfarin has a CAS number of 17834-03-6.

(R)-(+)-Warfarin is a reagent used in biochemical reactions.

Phenindione (Rectadione) is an indandione that has been used as an anticoagulant. Phenindione has actions similar to WARFARIN, but it is now rarely employed because of its higher incidence of severe adverse effects.

Coumarin is a chemical compound/poison found in many plants, notably in high concentration in the tonka bean, woodruff, and bison grass. It has clinical value as the precursor for several anticoagulants, notably warfarin.

Cyclocumarol is an anticoagulant with less potency than warfarin. Improper use of this compound may cause bleeding.

Ethyl biscoumacetate, a type of coumarin, is primarily utilized as an anticoagulant with effects similar to WARFARIN.

Adoisine is a biochemical.

Microfarin is a biochemical.

Acenocoumarol is a short-lived oral anti-coagulant, which, like warfarin, functions by inhibiting vitamin K epoxide reductase. It has higher intrinsic anticoagulant potency than warfarin and phenprocoumon, when evaluated in vitro. Acenocoumarol has a single chiral center that gives rise to two different enantiomeric forms. (S)-Acenocoumarol has a shorter plasma elimination half-life (1.8 hours) and faster plasma clearance (28.5 L/hour), compared to the (R)-enantiomer (6.6 hours, 1.9 L/hour). The S-enantiomer undergoes extensive first-pass metabolism during absorption from the gastrointestinal tract, whereas (R)-acenocoumarol is rapidly absorbed and provides essentially complete oral bioavailability. Perhaps related to these pharmacokinetic characteristics, (S)-acenocoumarol is less potent in vivo as an anti-coagulant than the (R)-enantiomer. As the clearance of acenocoumarol is ~20-fold faster than that for warfarin, the plasma concentrations of acenocoumarol are substantially lower than those for warfarin in patients receiving long-term treatment.

Coumarin-d4 is a deuterated compound of Coumarin. Coumarin has a CAS number of 91-64-5. Coumarin is a chemical compound/poison found in many plants, notably in high concentration in the tonka bean, woodruff, and bison grass. It has clinical value as the precursor for several anticoagulants, notably warfarin.
