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
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
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.
