Figure 1 Chemical Structure of a Furan Fatty Acid and Its Metabolism to the Bibasic Urofuran CMPF Furan fatty acids have a furan ring substituted with a saturated fatty acid in one α position and either a propyl or a pentyl alkyl group in the other α position. Either both β positions are substituted with methyl groups, or only the β position adjacent to the fatty acid chain has a methyl group. Catabolism to bibasic urofurans involves the degradation of the α position long chain fatty acid to propianoic acid and the conversion of the adjacent methyl group to carboxylic acid. Shown here is a furan fatty acid with a methyl group in both β positions and a propyl alkyl group that is catabolized into CMPF. Cell Metabolism , DOI: ( /j.cmet ) Copyright © 2014 Elsevier Inc.
