2-Furoic acid
Furoic acid is a metabolite that appears in the urine of workers occupationally exposed to furfural and is a marker of exposure to this compound. Furfural is a heterocyclic aldehyde that is commonly used as a solvent in industry. It is readily absorbed into the body via the lungs and has significant skin absorption. Furfural is an irritant of the eyes, mucous membranes, and skin and is a central nervous system depressant. Furfural as a confirmed animal carcinogen with unknown relevance to humans (It has been suggested that is a substance that produces hepatic cirrhosis). Once in the body, furfural is metabolized rapidly via oxidation to the metabolite furoic acid, which is then conjugated with glycine and excreted in the urine in both free and conjugated forms. (PMID: 3751566, 4630229, 12587683). 2-Furoic acid is a biomarker for the consumption of beer. 2-Furancarboxylic acid. CAS Common Chemistry.

Sumiki's acid
Sumikis acid is a naturally occurring human metabolite (PMID:949837). Sumikis acid was first identified in the urine of a leukemic patient who was excreting an abnormal amount of its glycine derivative (PMID:5043270). Sumikis acid was found to be excreted by normal subjects after a phenylalanine loading, while heterozygotes for phenylketonuria dont excrete it (instead, they excrete 2-hydroxybenzeneacetic acid) (PMID:4708049). Patients receiving furan-containing sugar solutions i.v. convert 50\\\\% of the 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furfural into Sumikis acid (PMID:4202014). Sumikis acid has been found to be a byproduct of the fungus Aspergillus and probably other species of fungi and yeast as well. Sumikis acid is a naturally occurring human metabolite. (PMID: 949837) Sumikis acid was first identified in the urine of a leukemic patient who was excreting an abnormal amount of its glycine derivative. (PMID: 5043270) 5-Hydroxymethyl-2-furancarboxylic acid is the main metabolite of 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furfural (HMF) in the body and eliminated renally. 5-Hydroxymethyl-2-furancarboxylic acid is the main metabolite of 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furfural (HMF) in the body and eliminated renally.
2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid
2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid is a normal urinary metabolite in humans. (PMID:14708889, 8087979, 2338430, 3711221). Dietary studies show that the furan derivatives or their precursors are of exogenous origin. They are originated from furan derivatives found in food prepared by strong heating. This may explain the absence of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid in urine of breastfed children, and the absence of these acids in the urine of rats, pigs, cows, oxs, rabbits, and monkeys (PMID 4630229). 2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid is also a microbial metabolite, a product of the oxidation of hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) by the enzyme furfural/HMF oxidoreductase which is found in the bacterium Cupriavidus basilensis. Cupriavidus basilensis is a gram-negative soil bacterium of the genus Cupriavidus and the family Burkholderiaceae. 2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid increases with the level of fructose consumed (PMID:20194784). 2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid is a normal urinary metabolite in humans. (PMIDs 14708889, 8087979, 2338430, 3711221) 2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid, detected in human urine, is an important renewable biotechnological building block because it serves as an environmentally friendly substitute for terephthalic acid in the production of polyesters[1].
3-Furoic acid
3-Furoic acid is an organic acid regularly occurring in urine of healthy individuals. (PMID 2338430). 3-Furoic acid is also a compound found in honey and honeydew samples (PMID 11403496), and is a structural analog of nicotinic acid (niacin, a vitamin of the B complex).
