General description

Molecules of 5-nitro-2-furaldehyde semicarbazone are linked via bifurcated hydrogen bonds. Its crystal structure has been studied. It is reported to induce mammary fibroadenomas in Holtzman female rats and can be subcutaneously transplanted into male and female newborn Holtzman rats. Chemotheraupetic potential of 5-nitro-2-furaldehyde semicarbazone has been evaluated. 5-Nitro-2-furaldehyde semicarbazone is a synthetic nitrofuran derivative, having good bacteriostatic and bactericidal properties, with an antibacterial action against a number of gram-negative and gram-positive microorganisms. In Vitro toxicity of 5-nitro-2-furaldehyde semicarbazone has been investigated in hamster cells.
