Abstract in brief
The discovery of dicumarol originated from research on spoiled sweet clover hay, which was found to cause bleeding in livestock.
Dicumarol was identified as a natural anticoagulant that could prevent blood clotting, leading to medical advancements.
This discovery paved the way for the development of anticoagulant drugs like warfarin, widely used in medicine today.]
