Brodifacoum (Cat No.: R055125) is a highly potent anticoagulant rodenticide with the molecular formula C₃₁H₂₃BrO₃. It functions by inhibiting vitamin K epoxide reductase, disrupting blood clotting and leading to internal bleeding in rodents. Classified as a second-generation or “superwarfarin” compound, brodifacoum is effective at very low doses and has a long biological half-life, which increases its efficacy but also raises concerns about toxicity to non-target species and environmental persistence. It is used in pest control for managing rats and mice resistant to first-generation anticoagulants.
