Abstract
The relationships between the anticoagulant effect and the concentrations of free and total (sum of free and protein-bound) warfarin in plasma were determined in rats following intravenous administration of single doses of racemic warfarin or S(-)-warfarin. The concentration of total warfarin required to elicit a defined anticoagulant effect varied widely between animals while the concentration of free warfarin showed much less variation. This indicates that the anticoagulant effect of warfarin is a function of its free concentration in plasma.Entities:
