2-5A
2-5A is a 5'-triphosphorylated (2',5') oligoadenylate. It acts as an immune messenger capable of enhancing RNase L immunity. By binding to RNase L and activating its endoribonuclease activity, 2-5A degrades viral mRNA and inhibits protein synthesis. This compound is useful in research on respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and cancer.
