Monograph
B01AA07 - Acenocoumarol |
Propably not porphyrinogenic |
PNP |
Rationale
Acenocoumarol is metabolized by CYP 2C9, 1A2 and 2C19, but induction or inhibition of the CYP enzymes are not observed or suspected.
Chemical description
Acenocoumarol is a coumarin derivate.
Therapeutic characteristics
Acenocoumarol is a coumarin derivative and functions as vitamin K antagonist. It is used in the treatment and prevention of thromboembolic diseases.
It is administered orally and the elimination half-life from the plasma is from 8 to 11 hours.
Metabolism and pharmacokinetics
Acenocoumarol is metabolized mainly by CYP 2C9, but CYP1A2 and CYP 2C19 are also involved (Thijssen 2000, Ufer 2005).
No CYP relevant drug-drug interaction with acenocoumarol as a perpetrator has been reported in the literature (Lexi-Interact, Micromedex, SPC).
IPNet drug reports
Uneventful use reported in 5 patients with acute porphyria.

This list comprises raw data collected from different countries.
In some cases, a more comprehensive list of available drug packages is included.
Consequently, very similar terms may therefore appear multiple times.
Bold names are the searchable terms, while the gray names that follow are all mapped to the bolded term.
Note: The cleaning is done automatically by a proprietary algorithm, and it may produce errors.
We strive to improve it continuously.
