2-Fluoroadenine

2-Fluoroadenine has toxicity in nonproliferating and proliferating tumor cells. 2-Fluoroadenine can be used for anticancer studies. (In Vitro) :In Balb-3T3 cells, 2-Fluoroadenine (0.22, 2.2 and 22 μM; 30 hours) inhibits protein, RNA, and DNA syntheses. In CEM cells, 2-Fluoroadenine (2 μM; 4 hours) inhibits CEM cell growth by targeting one or more enzymes involved in either RNA or protein synthesis. In nonproliferating MRC-5 cells, 2-Fluoroadenine (0-1000 μM; 96 hours) exhibits cytotoxicity.
