2-Iodomethyl-5-nitrofuran is a postulated anion. It has been shown to inhibit electron transfer, which is the process by which electrons are transferred from one molecule to another. This process is required for many biological processes including the production of ATP and DNA replication. 2-Iodomethyl-5-nitrofuran has been shown to have a high degree of inhibition against gram-negative bacteria and protrusions on the bacterial membrane. The mechanism of action of 2-iodomethyl-5-nitrofuran is unclear, but it may be due to its ability to form disulfides with cysteine residues in proteins.
