Description

Benzofuroxan is a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compound that has been shown to have minimal toxicity in animal studies. It has been used as a pharmacological treatment for cardiac diseases, and as an ester hydrochloride, it can be applied topically or taken orally. Benzofuroxan reacts with water vapor to form oxalic acid and hydrogen fluoride, which is the major cause of its toxic effects. The chemical structure of benzofuroxan has been analyzed by X-ray crystallography and NMR spectroscopy. In addition, skin cancer in mice was induced by topical application of benzofuroxan in the form of a solution in trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), which may be due to its antimicrobial properties.
