The rates of enzymatic hydrolysis of 2',5'-oligoadenylates and their synthetic analogs have been measured. These compounds were treated with either NIH 3T3 cell lysates, mouse liver homogenates or snake venom phosphodiesterase. All analogs with 3'-terminal acyclic nucleoside residues demonstrated greater stability compared with the natural compound adenylyl(2'-5')adenylyl(2'-5')adenosine.
