This is an utter non-issue; alarming only to those lacking elemental chemistry knowledge.

ANAVEX 2-73 is a tetrahydrofuran derivative, not tetrahydrofuran itself. This means that any number of side groups or other chemical appendages have been attached to the tetrahydrofuran base, thereby changing its toxicity and chemistry altogether.

To make this simple, for those with minimal chemistry background, an equivalent statement would be:

"Be careful, table salt is derived from chlorine, and it's strongly toxic."


(Table salt --- sodium chloride.)
