Anisindione (brand name Miradon) is a synthetic anticoagulant and an indanedione derivative. It prevents the formation of active procoagulation factors II VII IX and X as well as the anticoagulant proteins C and S in the liver by inhibiting the vitamin K–mediated gamma-carboxylation of precursor proteins.
