A convenient route to new 3(2H)-furanones is described through hydrogenolysis and subsequent acidic hydrolysis of isoxazoles. The antiproliferative activity of title compounds were evaluated against leukemia-, carcinoma-, neuroblastoma-, and sarcoma-derived human cell lines in comparison to the natural compound geiparvarin. The structure activity relationship indicated that the maximum in vitro antiproliferative activity correlates with the presence of a heterocyclic ring on the ethenyl moiety.

Possible interaction of thiol groups of proteins with antimutagens containing a conjugated carbonyl structure.
Further support to the hypothesis that antimutagenic activities of α, β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds against UV-induced mutagenesis of E. coli may be due to an interaction with thiol groups were obtained by an experiment with the supplement of glatathione to the assay medium. Antimutagenic activity against MNNG induced mutation was also observed.
