Description

Furil is a pharmaceutical preparation used for the treatment of metabolic disorders, such as hypertension and diabetes. Furil is an inhibitor of the enzyme acyl coenzyme A: diacylglycerol acyltransferase-2 (DGAT-2) which catalyses the formation of triacylglycerols from diacylglycerol and free fatty acids. Furil has been shown to have potent inhibitory activity against DGAT-2, with an IC50 value of 0.5 μM. Furil also inhibits the enzyme phosphodiesterase 4B (PDE4B), which plays a role in signal transduction and inflammation. Furil can be synthesized by reacting hydrogen chloride with 2-bromoacetophenone in a nonpolar solvent to form 2,4-dichlorobenzoyl chloride, followed by reaction with 3-furancarboxylic acid in methanol to produce furil.
