2'-TFA-NH-dC is a novel nucleoside analogue that has been modified to have antiviral and anticancer properties. The chemical structure of 2'-TFA-NH-dC closely resembles dC, which is a natural DNA nucleotide, but with the addition of an extra fluorine atom at the 2' position. This modification increases the potency of 2'-TFA-NH-dC by making it more difficult for enzymes in cells to break down the drug. The compound can be used as a monophosphate or diphosphate, and is synthesized from 2'-deoxyadenosine 5'-phosphoramidite and 1,2,4-triazole in water.
