Bromadiolone
A second generation Anticoagulant Rodenticide.
Identity
Coumarin based compound.
Common name: bromadiolone (BSI, E-ISO, F-ISO); broprodifacoum
IUPAC: 3-[3-(4'-bromobiphenyl-4-yl)-3-hydroxy-1-phenylpropyl]-4-hydroxycoumarin
CAS Number: 28772-56-7
CAS Number: 28772-56-7
Activity
Features as highly appetizing for rodents. 50 mgkg is a sufficient dose for killing Rattus norvegicus and Rattus rattus in 5 days time. This delay in the lethal effect means that rodents do not mistrust the bait. It prevents blood coagulation and prothrombine formation. It is effective against rats and mice resistant to Warfarin and Coumatetrlyl. It is a non-specific poison, but since the concentration of Active Ingredient in baits is so low, several doses have to be consumed for it to be lethal, hence risk for accidental poisoning of non-target species, including humans, is very small.
