Description

1-(2-Furyl)-1,3-butanedione is an organic compound with the chemical formula CO. It is a diketone that acts as a metal chelate. The molecule has been shown to have antibacterial properties against gram-negative bacteria and also inhibits the growth of amyloid plaques in Alzheimer's disease. 1-(2-Furyl)-1,3-butanedione binds to the chlorine atom of a bacterial cell wall and prevents it from binding to the amine group on the surface of proteins, which are vital for protein synthesis. This leads to a decrease in bacterial growth. 1-(2-Furyl)-1,3-butanedione can be used as an alternative for chlorine gas in water purification processes because it reacts with HCl and converts it into less toxic hydrogen chloride.
