Agents possessing anticoagulant activity, such as Dicumarol, Tromexan, warfarin, Sintrom, cumachlor, phenindione, and salicylate, which inhibited purified vitamin K1 reductase were found to depress the respiration of rat liver slices. Dicumarol was found to be the most potent, salicylate the least potent, while the others were intermediate. A similar relative order of potency was obtained for the series of anticoagulants with respect to inhibition of respiration and for the inhibition of vitamin K1 reductase.
