Metabolite Identification

Common Name

2,5-Dimethylfuran

Description

2,5-Dimethylfuran is a derivative of furan. It is a heterocyclic compound of the formula C6H8O. While it may be abbreviated DMF, it should not be confused with dimethylformamide. 2,5-Dimethylfuran is a maillard product. 2,5-Dimethylfuran has been identified as one of the components of cigar smoke with low cilatoxicity (ability to adversely affect the cilia in the respiratory tract that are responsible for removing foreign particles). Its blood concentration can be used as a biomarker for smoking. 2,5-Dimethylfuran, together with 2,5-hexanedione and 4,5-dihydroxy-2-hexanone, is one of the main metabolites of hexane in humans, which play a role in the mechanism for the neurotoxicity of hexane.Recent advances have increased its attractiveness as a biofuel.
