2-Furylacetone is a compound that occurs naturally and can be found in trace amounts within the essential oils of plants like ginger, nutmeg, and clove. Researchers have been investigating 2-Furylacetone for its capacity to interact with and inhibit certain enzymes, such as cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), which plays a role in generating inflammatory mediators like prostaglandins. In addition, 2-Furylacetone has been noted to obstruct the function of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, which is responsible for breaking down the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. The inhibition of this enzyme leads to a rise in acetylcholine levels, which has been associated with improved cognitive function.
