Mode of Action of Indanedione: The action of indanedione is similar to coumarin<br />
derivatives i. e., the synthesis of plasma prothrombin and other factors are inhibited,<br />
thereby lengthening the prothrombin time.<br />
Official drugs<br />
Phenindione (41), B.P., I.P. 2-Phenylindane-1, 3- dione. Phenindione may be prepared<br />
by heating phthalide with benzaldehyde in the presence of sodium ethoxide. Phenindione<br />
occurs as white or creamy-white crystals. It is sparingly soluble in water. It is stored in<br />
well-closed containers.<br />

Phenindione (46)<br />
Phenindione (41), anisidione (42) and delphenadione (43) are absorbed from the<br />
gastrointestinal tract. Its metabolites are excreted in the urine; and the urine may become<br />
discoloured. Phenindione is an orally administered anticoagulant. However, it is<br />
generally more toxic than warfarin sodium. The initial dose of phenindione is 200 to 300<br />
mg; subsequent doses are 25 to 100 mg daily, depending on the prothrombin activity of<br />
the blood.<br />
Preparation: Phenindione Tablets, B.P., I.P. Proprietary Name: Dindevan; Pindione<br />
D. Miscellaneous drugs:<br />
1. Sodium citrate when taken orally, is metabolized in vivo to citrate ion, which is a<br />
soluble complex with Ca ++ , an agent required to convert prothrombin to thrombin<br />
and thus citric acid prevents the formation of clot.<br />
2. Sulphanilamidoquinoxaline (47): It is very potent anticoagulant. Thrombodyn<br />
(48) is used for the treatment of thrombosis.<br />
