Chemical Properties
Light yellow to light brown powder
Uses
Deriatives of benzofuran-2-carboxylic acid are known for exhibiting various pharmacological activities such as selective adenosine A2A receptor antagonists, anti-inflammatory agents and local anaesthe
tics. Benzofuran-2-carboxylic acids bearing benzoyl nitrogen such as Ethyl 5-Nitrobenzofuran-2-carboxylate, are used as DNA-binding groups, where the these structural subunits mimic natural antitumor
agents such as duocarmycin and netropsin.
