Biological Activity

Methyl furan-2-carboxylate is a naturally occurring furan ester and volatile flavor constituent found in cocoa products, serving as a key precursor for synthesizing bioactive sesquiterpene lactones and heterocycles. As an aroma compound and chemical building block, it contributes to character odor profiles and supports chemical synthesis of biologically active downstream derivatives involved in flavor perception and metabolic pathways.

Solvent Solubility & Note
FAQ
Q: Why does a DMSO stock precipitate in media/saline?
A: It is caused by unheated aqueous media (supersaturation), local solvent shock, or incorrect mixing sequence.
How to fix it?
  • Preheat media/saline to 37°C.
  • Mix rapidly (pipette/vortex) upon addition.
  • For complex mixes, always add the aqueous phase last.
  • Re-dissolve minor precipitates with a 37°C water bath and sonication (≤30 min).
