Product Description
BFMO can be used for As removal from water containing high concentrations of Fe(II) and Mn(II).
BFMO (CAS# 69010-90-8), also known as N,N'-Difurfuryloxamide or N1,N2-Bis(furan-2-ylmethyl)oxalamide, is a biochemical reagent used as a biological material or organic compound for life science research. It has a molecular formula of C12H12N2O4 and a molecular weight of 248.24 g/mol. BFMO is used as a ligand in copper-catalyzed coupling reactions involving aryl halides and nitrogen heterocycles. It has also been reported for use in arsenic removal from water containing high concentrations of Fe(II) and Mn(II). BFMO is a solid at room temperature with a purity of >98.0%. It should be stored as a powder at -20°C for 3 years or at 4°C for 2 years. BFMO exists as a biogenic Fe-Mn oxide mixture (biogenic manganese oxides and iron oxides) that can simultaneously eliminate or reduce Fe(II), Mn(II), and As(III&V) species.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
The molecular targets of BFMO in biological systems have not been formally characterized. As a biochemical reagent, its primary utility is in chemical synthesis and environmental applications rather than as a pharmacological agent targeting specific biological molecules. However, as an oxalamide derivative containing furan rings, BFMO may interact with various biological targets through hydrogen bonding, π-π stacking, and metal coordination. The oxalamide functionality can serve as a hydrogen bond donor and acceptor, potentially interacting with enzymes and receptors. The furan rings may undergo metabolic activation by cytochrome P450 enzymes, forming reactive epoxide intermediates that can alkylate proteins and DNA. In the context of its use as a ligand in copper-catalyzed reactions, BFMO coordinates to copper ions through the oxygen and nitrogen atoms of the oxalamide moiety, facilitating catalytic transformations. Its environmental application for arsenic removal involves adsorption and coprecipitation mechanisms rather than specific molecular targeting.
ln Vitro
In vitro biological activity data for BFMO are primarily related to its role as a biochemical reagent rather than as a biologically active compound with specific pharmacological effects. The compound's ability to coordinate metal ions may influence metalloenzyme activities in vitro, potentially inhibiting or activating enzymes that require metal cofactors. Its furan rings may undergo oxidation reactions in cell culture media, generating reactive oxygen species that could affect cell viability and function. The compound may also interact with cellular membranes due to its moderate lipophilicity, potentially affecting membrane fluidity and permeability. However, specific in vitro activity data such as IC50 values against particular biological targets are not available in the literature. As a research reagent, BFMO is used primarily for chemical synthesis and environmental studies rather than for biological activity screening.
ln Vivo
In vivo data for BFMO are primarily related to its environmental applications rather than pharmacological effects. BFMO (biogenic Fe-Mn oxides) has been studied for its ability to remove arsenic and other heavy metals from water. In environmental settings, BFMO can simultaneously eliminate or reduce Fe(II), Mn(II), and As(III&V) species through adsorption, oxidation, and coprecipitation mechanisms. This makes it useful for water treatment applications, particularly in groundwater remediation where high concentrations of iron, manganese, and arsenic are present. In biological systems, the compound is not intended for therapeutic use and would not be administered to animals for pharmacological evaluation. Its stability and reactivity in aqueous environments make it suitable for environmental applications, but its biological safety and efficacy in living organisms have not been systematically studied.
Enzyme Assay
For in vitro experiments with BFMO as a chemical reagent, the following protocol is typically used: BFMO is dissolved in an appropriate organic solvent such as DMSO or THF at a concentration of 0.1-1.0 M. For copper-catalyzed coupling reactions, BFMO (10-20 mol%) is added to a reaction mixture containing the aryl halide (1.0 equiv), the nitrogen heterocycle (1.2 equiv), copper(I) iodide (5-10 mol%), and a base such as Cs₂CO₃ or K₂CO₃ in a suitable solvent (e.g., DMF or DMSO). The reaction is heated to 80-120°C for 12-24 hours under an inert atmosphere. The progress of the reaction is monitored by TLC or HPLC. After completion, the reaction mixture is diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers are dried and concentrated, and the product is purified by column chromatography. The yield and purity of the product are determined by NMR and HPLC analysis.
Cell Assay
For cell-based experiments with BFMO, the following general protocol would be used if the compound were to be tested for biological activity: cells (e.g., HEK293 or HeLa) are cultured in DMEM with 10% FBS and antibiotics at 37°C in 5% CO₂. Cells are seeded in 96-well plates at 5,000-10,000 cells per well and allowed to adhere overnight. BFMO is dissolved in DMSO and diluted in culture medium to final concentrations ranging from 1 to 100 μM (final DMSO ≤ 0.1%). Cells are treated for 24-72 hours, and cell viability is assessed using the MTT or CCK-8 assay. For studying metal chelation effects, cells can be treated with BFMO in the presence of various metal ions, and cellular metal content can be measured by ICP-MS. For oxidative stress assessment, cells are loaded with DCFH-DA and fluorescence is measured after treatment. However, as BFMO is primarily used as a reagent for chemical synthesis, such cell-based studies are not standard applications of this compound.
Animal Protocol
For environmental applications of BFMO, the following general protocol is used: BFMO (biogenic Fe-Mn oxides) is synthesized by culturing Mn(II)-oxidizing bacteria (e.g., Pseudomonas putida strain MnB1) or by chemical coprecipitation of Fe and Mn oxides. The resulting BFMO material is characterized by XRD, SEM, and BET surface area analysis. For arsenic removal studies, BFMO is added to water samples containing As(III) and As(V) at concentrations of 0.1-10 mg/L, along with Fe(II) and Mn(II) at various concentrations. The mixture is stirred at room temperature for 1-24 hours. Samples are collected at various time points, filtered through 0.45 μm membranes, and analyzed for residual arsenic, iron, and manganese concentrations by ICP-OES or ICP-MS. The removal efficiency is calculated as (C₀ - Cₜ)/C₀ × 100%. The adsorption capacity is determined by fitting the data to Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models. The effect of pH, temperature, and competing ions on removal efficiency can also be evaluated.
Additional Infomation
BFMO is a biochemical reagent used as a biological material or organic compound for life science research. It is used as a ligand in copper-catalyzed coupling reactions and for arsenic removal from water. BFMO has a molecular formula of C12H12N2O4, a molecular weight of 248.24 g/mol, and a purity of >98.0%. It is a solid at room temperature and should be stored as a powder at -20°C for 3 years or at 4°C for 2 years. BFMO exists as a biogenic Fe-Mn oxide mixture that can simultaneously eliminate or reduce Fe(II), Mn(II), and As(III&V) species. Future research could explore its potential in other catalytic applications, its utility in environmental remediation of other heavy metals, and its possible biological activities through systematic screening against relevant targets.
