Product Description
3-Furanmethanol belongs to the furan class of compounds and has a wide range of sensory properties. A high degree of regioselectivity is achieved through the efficient photocycloaddition of 2-cyanonaphthalenes with 3-furanmethanol.
3-Furanmethanol (CAS 4412-91-3) is a volatile furan compound with the molecular formula C₅H₆O₂ and a molecular weight of 98.1 g/mol. It is known for its roasty, popcorn-like flavors and is detectable in malt beverages fermented with Bifidobacterium breve. 3-Furanmethanol exhibits weak binding activity toward rat hepatic aryl sulfotransferase (AST IV). It is widely used in biochemical experiments and drug synthesis research.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
3-Furanmethanol exhibits weak binding activity toward rat hepatic aryl sulfotransferase (AST IV). AST IV is an enzyme involved in the sulfation and detoxification of various xenobiotics and endogenous compounds. The compound's weak binding suggests it may have a minor modulatory effect on this enzyme. It does not have other well-defined biological targets.
ln Vitro
In vitro, 3-furanmethanol is used as a biochemical reagent and in drug synthesis research. It belongs to the furan compound class and has a wide range of sensory properties. It efficiently undergoes photocycloaddition reactions with 2-cyanonaphthalenes with high regioselectivity. It also reacts with proteins and other biomolecules, which can be used in toxicity studies.
ln Vivo
3-Furanmethanol is not a pharmacologically active drug and does not exhibit established in vivo therapeutic activity. Its primary use is as a chemical reagent and intermediate in organic synthesis and biochemical experiments. It is not administered to animals in pharmacological studies and has no known physiological effects.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro assays for 3-furanmethanol focus on its chemical properties rather than receptor binding. A standard protocol for studying its reactivity involves photocycloaddition reactions with 2-cyanonaphthalenes. The conformational properties of this molecule are studied using NMR spectra, while its hydrogen bonding interactions are determined by infrared spectroscopy. For toxicity studies, its reaction with proteins is assessed.
Cell Assay
Cell-based experiments are not performed with 3-furanmethanol as a test compound for biological activity. When used to synthesize drug candidates, those products may be tested in cell culture. The intermediate itself is not evaluated in cellular systems.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies are not conducted with 3-furanmethanol, as it is a research reagent for chemical synthesis. When used to synthesize drug candidates, those final products undergo standard preclinical evaluation.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of 3-furanmethanol are not characterized, as it is not a drug substance. Based on its physicochemical properties (molecular weight 98.1, soluble in DMSO at 80 mg/mL), the compound would be expected to have moderate bioavailability. However, it is not intended for human exposure.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
3-Furanmethanol may cause skin and eye irritation. Standard laboratory safety precautions should be followed when handling this compound, including the use of gloves, safety glasses, and working in a fume hood. The compound should be stored at -20°C for long-term storage.

Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 1.25 mg/mL (12.74 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 12.5 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.

For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 12.5 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
