Furanochromone Explained

Furanochromone is a chemical compound which is a derivative of chromone (1,4-benzopyrone) and furan.[1]

Some chemical derivatives of furanochromone show strong interaction with DNA.[2] Furanochromones can be produced in callus cultures of Ammi visnaga[3] or in Pimpinella monoica.[4]
