Description and Uses

Warfarin was the first of the synthetic anticoagulant rodenticides with structural features inspired by a natural product (88). This prototype coumarin derivative was developed in the 1940s by systematically altering the structure of dicumarol (46), recognized earlier as the causative agent of the sweet clover disease causing severe bleeding in grazing cattle (89). These rodenticides act by inhibiting the oxidoreductive recycling of vitamin K, a cofactor necessary for prothrombin synthesis involved in blood coagulation.
