tcscw013662 2-Furoic acid

2-Furoic acid (Furan-2-carboxylic acid) is an organic compound produced through furfural oxidation^[1]. 2-Furoic acid exhibits hypolipidemic effet, lowers both serum cholesterol and serum triglyceride levels in rats^[2].

In Vivo: 2-Furoic acid significantly reduces serum cholesterol and serum triglyceride levels^[2].


2-Furoic acid also lowers the liver and small intestine ATP dependent citrate lyase, acetyl CoA synthetase, acyl CoA cholesterol acyl transferase, sn-glycerol 3-phosphate acyl transferase, phosphatidylate phosphohydrolase and heparin induced lipoprotein lipase activities^[2].


2-Furoic acid shows the LD₅₀ of 250 mg/kg i.p. in the acute toxicity studies in mice^[2].
