General Comment
2011-03-18 Originally isolated from spoiled sweet clover (improperly cured Melilotus hay) and subsequently synthesised by reaction of formaldehyde with the sodium derivative of 4-hydroxycoumarin (obtained by the action of sodium on methyl acetylsalicylate), dicoumarol is a viatmin K antagonist and was widely used as an oral anticoagulant in the management of thromboembolic disorders. However, due to the unpredictability of response and high incidence of gastrointestinal effects, it has been largely replaced by warfarin.
