$0.50$0.70

The commercial form of Warfarin Sodium is a mixture of R (dextrorotatory) and S (levorotatory) enantiomers. Coumadin is used for the treatment of pulmonary embolism and venous thrombosis. Coumadin acts as competitive antagonists of vitamin K and reduce the levels of functional clotting factors in a dose dependent manner. Coumadin interferes with regeneration of the active hydroquinone form of vitamin K, which carries out final step of carboxylating glutamate residues of prothrombin and clotting factors. This carboxylation step is required for clotting factors to bind with calcium and get a phospholipid surface that is necessary for coagulation process.
