Furoxan (1,2,5-oxadiazole 2-oxide) is aheterocycle of theisoxazole family and anamine oxide derivative offurazan. It is anitric oxide donor.[1] As such, furoxan and its derivatives, such asipramidil, are being actively studied as potential newdrugs and insensitive high density explosives (4,4’-dinitro-3,3’-diazenofuroxan).
Furoxanes can be formed bydimerization ofnitrile oxides.
