5-Fluoro-2',3'-O-isopropylidenecytidine is a modified nucleoside that has antiviral and anticancer properties. It is a diphosphate of cytidine, with a fluorine atom in the 2'-position and an isopropyl group in the 3'-position. 5-Fluoro-2',3'-O-isopropylidenecytidine is synthesized by reacting 5-fluorocytidine with isopropylamine. This novel compound has been shown to have high quality, high purity, and improved biological activity as compared to other nucleosides.
