2-Fluoro-6-O-[2-(4-nitrophenyl)ethyl]inosine (2F-6ENPE) is a novel antiviral agent that inhibits the synthesis of RNA in the body. It is a monophosphate nucleotide analog and a prodrug that is converted to its active form, 2F-6ENP by ribonucleoside kinases. This drug has been shown to inhibit the growth of cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. 2F-6ENPE has also been shown to be effective against methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).
