Why

Why do we need all those references at the bottom? JFW | T@lk 18:36, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Structure fixed

Just letting everyone know I've fixed my original structure, which had been incorrect for nearly a year and a half and was thankfully removed from the article by Samedyouk (talk · contribs) last January. As an aside, it would be nice to work [1] into the page as part of a History section. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 16:22, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Inspired by Warfarin

Is there any reference to back up this claim? I can clearly see how warfarin would be the cream of the crop of Vit K anticoags but does it need to be included that Warfarin inspired its creation? Perhaps something about how it is similar in structure or class to that of warfarin?Aglo123 (talk) 02:10, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You misunderstood the language. Dicoumarol was the inspiration FOR warfarin, not the other way around. See the warfarin article for history. Dicoumarol is the natural product in sweet clover that caused bleeding, and inspired creation of the artificial molecule warfarin and all the derivatives after warfarin. It's always hard to know what to put in a lede, but if you were to tell anybody what this little known "dicoumarol" is, you'd say: "It's the crap in sweet clover that made cattle bleed, and that was the inspiration for the artificial anticoagulant warfarin, which you might have heard of." Relate to what people know. S B H arris 02:50, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
