3-(3-biphenyl-4-yl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-naphthyl)-4-hydroxycoumarin

C₁₉H₁₆O₄

Form The racemate forms colourless crystals.

Melting point 161-162℃.

Solubility In water 17 mg/l (20℃). Very slightly soluble in benzene, diethyl ether and cyclohexane. Moderately soluble in methanol, ethanol, and isopropanol. In acetone 65, chloroform 56, dioxane 100 (all in g/l, 20℃). Dissolves in aqueous alkalis with the formation of water-soluble salts. Sodium salt: in water up to 400 g/l; insoluble in organic solvents.

Oral Acute oral LD50 for rats 186, mice 374 mg/kg. Oral LD50 for rats 1, pigs 1, cats 3, dogs 3, cattle 200 (all mg/kg daily for 5 days). Other Organ damage is observed, as well as inhibition of blood coagulation.
