Product Information

• Name: 2-Ethenylfuran
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-Ethenylfuran (2-EF) is a nucleophilic, cationic polymerization agent that is activated by trifluoroacetic acid. It has been shown to inhibit protein synthesis and cytostatic effects in vivo. 2-EF also has genotoxic effects and can cause mutations in the DNA of bacteria. A study using FTIR spectroscopy has shown that 2-EF reacts with nitro groups, which are highly toxic to cells, forming an anthelmintic drug with a reaction mechanism similar to the one found for the pharmaceutical drug levamisole.
