Beschreibung

5-Methoxybenzofuran is a fluorescent probe that can be used to identify resistant mutants in bacteria. It is often used as a substrate for the enzyme 5-methoxyindole-2-carboxylic acid methyltransferase (5MIAT), which converts 5-methoxyindole to 5-methoxybenzofulvene, the product of the reaction. The rate of conversion can be measured by the fluorescence intensity. 5-Methoxybenzofuran has been shown to be active against a number of bacterial strains, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and erythromycin resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae. The use of this compound has also been shown to be effective in treating cardiovascular disorders and mathematical models, such as in forecasting outbreaks. 5-Methoxybenzofuran has an antiviral activity and is being studied for its potential use in
