Beschreibung

2(5H)-Furanone is a naturally occurring compound that has been found to have hypoglycemic effects. Studies have shown that 2(5H)-furanone inhibits the activity of cox-2, an enzyme involved in the synthesis of prostaglandins, which are inflammatory compounds. This chemical may be useful as an anti-inflammatory agent and for the treatment of bowel diseases. 2(5H)-Furanone also has antimicrobial properties and has been shown to inhibit the growth of animal cells that are resistant to anticancer drugs. It binds to cell nuclei and disrupts DNA synthesis by competing with basic proteins for binding sites on DNA strands. The chemical structure of 2(5H)-furanone is very similar to butenolide, a natural plant compound used in traditional Chinese medicine; both compounds have been shown to inhibit COX-2 activity.
