Griseofulvin

(2S,6R)-7-chloro-2,4,6-trimethoxy-6-methyl-3H-spiro[1-benzofuran-2,1-cyclohexan]-2-ene-3,4-dione

C17H17ClO6 (352.0714)


Griseofulvin is only found in individuals that have used or taken this drug. It is an antifungal antibiotic. Griseofulvin may be given by mouth in the treatment of tinea infections. [PubChem]Griseofulvin is fungistatic, however the exact mechanism by which it inhibits the growth of dermatophytes is not clear. It is thought to inhibit fungal cell mitosis and nuclear acid synthesis. It also binds to and interferes with the function of spindle and cytoplasmic microtubules by binding to alpha and beta tubulin. It binds to keratin in human cells, then once it reaches the fungal site of action, it binds to fungal microtubes thus altering the fungal process of mitosis.

C8H6O (118.0419)


Benzofuran, also known as coumaron or 1-oxaindene, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as benzofurans. These are organic compounds containing a benzene ring fused to a furan. Furan is a five-membered aromatic ring with four carbon atoms and one oxygen atom. Benzothiophene, an analog with a sulfur instead of the oxygen atom. Benzofuran is a drug. benzofuran has been detected, but not quantified, in several different foods, such as alcoholic beverages, coffee and coffee products, herbs and spices, root vegetables, and tea. This could make benzofuran a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. This colourless liquid is a component of coal tar.
