Description

2-Acetylfuran is a chemical compound that has been shown to have in vitro antifungal activity. It is an aromatic, hydroxylated compound with a 2-acetyl group and two double bonds, one of which is conjugated. 2-Acetylfuran has been used as a model system for the study of biological properties and kinetic data. It also inhibits the reaction by binding to the pyrimidine compound, preventing it from undergoing nucleophilic substitution. This inhibition can be reversed by adding ethyl decanoate to the reaction solution, which may be due to its ability to chelate the metal ion that activates the enzyme.2-Acetylfuran has been tested for its ability to inhibit fungal growth in tissue culture by inhibiting RNA synthesis. The matrix effect can cause variations in results obtained when using different solvents and this should be taken into account when conducting experiments with 2-acetylfuran.
