nitrofuran derivatives: nitrofurantoine,(1-(5-nitro-2-furfurilideneamine)-hidantoine) and
quinifuryl, 2-(5′-nitro-2′-furanyl) ethenyl-4-{N-[4′-(N, N-diethylamino)-1′-methylbutyl]
carbamoyl} quinoline. Both molecules are representative of a family of 5-nitrofuran-ethenyl-
quinoline drugs that have been demonstrated to display high toxicity to various species of
transformed cells in the dark. We determine the two-photon absorption cross-section for both …
