2-Nitrofuran has garnere attention in scientific research due to its antimicrobial properties, making it useful in combating a wide range of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and protozoa. The mechanism of how 2-Nitrofuran operates remains elusive, but researchers posit that it hampers the synthesis of biomolecules such as DNA, RNA, and proteins within the microorganisms. Additionally, this compound disrupts the electron transport chain, causing the generation of reactive oxygen species, which inflict damage upon the microorganisms.
