Background: The history of the discovery of Warfarin started from the plains of North America in Canada in 1920. Livestock in that area died from bleeding. Warfarin was first used in 1948 as a rodenticide, and in 1954 the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved it for medical use as an anticoagulant. Purpose: This review article aims to discuss the history of the discovery of warfarin starting from the presence of blood clotting disorders to the point that researchers worked to find drugs that can inhibit blood clotting, namely the anticoagulant group. Research Methods: The method used is the study of relevant literature which is accessed through online sites such as Google Scholar, Research Gate, Science Direct, Springer Link, and NCBI. Conclusion: In its development, several trials such as in silico, preclinical, and clinical trials have shown significant results but are always associated with bleeding.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
