Description

Acenocoumarol is mono-coumarin derivative with racemic mixture of R (+) and S (-) enantiomers. Acenocoumarol is structurally similar to vitamin K and is competitively able to inhibit the enzyme vitamin K-epoxide reductase. It exerts anticoagulant action by preventing the regeneration of reduced vitamin K by interfering with action of vitamin K epoxide reductase. Acenocoumarol is prescribed as the anticoagulant in various thromboembolic disorders.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide
The dosing of Sintrom (acenocoumarol) must be individualized. The usual starting dose of Sintrom in a normal weight person is between 2 mg/day to 4 mg/day without administration of a loading dose, if the prothrombine time (PT)/ International Normalized Ratio (INR) value before the start of treatment is within the normal range. Treatment may also be initiated with a loading dose regimen, usually 6 mg on the first day followed by 4 mg on the second day.
Route of Administration: Oral
In Vitro Use Guide
Acenocoumarol had no effect in unstimulated cells but in PHA-stimulated PBMC tryptophan breakdown and the formation of neopterin, as well as IFN-γ and TNF-α, were dose-dependently suppressed at concentrations as low as 10 μg/ml. Likewise, acenocoumarol dose-dependently inhibited tryptophan breakdown in IFN-γ stimulated Caco-2 cells. Interestingly, NF-κB expression was super-induced in the LPS treated cells.
