Biochem/physiol Actions

Warfarin consists of a racemic mixture of two active enantiomers, R- and S- forms. Warfarin is slower-acting than the common anticoagulant heparin. Warfarin inhibits the vitamin K-dependent synthesis of biologically active forms of the calcium-dependent clotting factors II, VII, IX and X. It inhibits regulatory factors protein C, protein S, and protein Z.
