Occurrence
Isoxazole rings are found in some natural products, such as ibotenic acid and muscimol.
Pharmaceuticals and herbicides
Isoxazoles also form the basis for a number of drugs,[2] including the COX-2 inhibitor valdecoxib (Bextra) and a neurotransmitter agonist AMPA. A derivative, furoxan, is a nitric oxide donor. An isoxazolyl group is found in many beta-lactamase-resistant antibiotics, such as cloxacillin, dicloxacillin and flucloxacillin. Leflunomide is an isoxazole-derivative drug. Examples of AAS containing the isoxazole ring include danazol and androisoxazole. A number of pesticides are isoxazoles.[3]
