2(5H)-Furanone
Based on 1 Customer Validation
2(5H)-Furanone (γ-Crotonolactone) is an endogenous metabolite. 2(5H)-Furanone mimics N-acyl homoserine lactone signals, occupies the binding site of LuxR homologs, and interferes with quorum sensing-mediated gene regulation. 2(5H)-Furanone inhibits quorum sensing mediated by AHLs with different acyl chain lengths. 2(5H)-Furanone inhibits biofilm formation of environmental Aeromonas hydrophila strains on polystyrene plates. 2(5H)-Furanone suppresses spike-and-wave discharges in a rat model of generalized absence seizures and exhibits selective activity against absence seizures. 2(5H)-Furanone can be used in studies related to bacteria infections and generalized absence seizures.

Animal Model:Sprague-Dawley (male, 250-300 g, generalized absence seizures induced by intraperitoneal administration of 200 mg/kg γ-butyrolactone)[2]
-
Dosage:20 mg/kg; 100 mg/kg; 175 mg/kg; 200 mg/kg (pre-GBL pretreatment); 175 mg/kg (standalone EEG assessment)
-
Administration:i.p.; single dose
-
Result:Exhibited dose-dependent suppression of GBL-induced SWD, with an ED50 of 100 mg/kg.
Significantly reduced SWD duration compared to controls at all time points post-GBL administration at 175 mg/kg.
Produced no discernible EEG or behavioral changes when administered alone at 175 mg/kg.
Reduced the muscimol-induced prolongation of GBL-induced SWD duration.
Significantly attenuated muscimol-mediated enhancement of SWD compared to saline-treated controls.
Effectively reduced GBL-induced SWD duration in all age groups tested.
Showed delayed suppressive effect: no significant suppression seen until 40 minutes post-GBL in 26-day-old animals, and 60 minutes post-GBL in animals younger than 26 days.
Significantly suppressed PTZ-induced SWD duration compared to controls at all time points post-PTZ administration.

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.
- For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
- To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for In Vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
- The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (29.74 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (29.74 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.
