Descrição

5-(Hydroxymethyl)furan-3-carboxylic acid (5HFCA) is a diphenyl ether that can be found in nature. 5HFCA has been shown to have significant antifungal activity against flavus, a genus of fungi. The uptake of 5HFCA by the fungus is rapid and it accumulates in the cell. The polyphenol content of plants is also considered to be an important factor for its growth inhibition effect on fungi. There are many active substances in 5HFCA that are responsible for this effect, such as carvacrol and p-cresol. 5HFCA has been shown to have strong oxidative activity and can induce oxidative stress in fungi, leading to cell death.
