Applications

Chlorophacinone is an anticoagulant agent; it uncouples oxidative phosphorylation depressing hepatic synthesis of prothrombin and clotting factors VII, IX and X and, it causes direct damage to capillary permeability. The ultimate effect is widespread internal haemorrhage. In rodents, indandlones also cause neurologic and cardiopulmonary injuries which often lead to death before haemorrhage occurs.
