Description

4-Butyrolactone: One of the FURANS with a carbonyl thereby forming a cyclic lactone. It is an endogenous compound made from gamma-aminobutyrate and is the precursor of gamma-hydroxybutyrate. It is also used as a pharmacological agent and solvent. [Medical Subject Headings (MeSH), National Library of Medicine, extracted Dec-2023]

tetrahydrofuranone : Any oxolane having an oxo- substituent at any position on the tetrahydrofuran ring.

" Some of these inhibitors (namely, colchicine, vinblastine, taxol, and maytansine) were found to exhibit large (between tenfold and fiftyfold) differences in their toxic and antimitotic concentrations toward various cell lines and these differences appeared to be species related inasmuch as all cell lines from a particular species showed similar sensitivities toward these inhibitors."( Species-specific differences in toxicity of antimitotic agents toward cultured mammalian cells.
