4-Nitrophenyl Phenylphosphonate

4-Nitrophenyl phenylphosphonate is a substrate for 5'-nucleotide phosphodiesterases. It is a more preferable substrate to 5'-nucleotide phosphodiesterases than naturally occurring nucleotides or bis(4-nitrophenyl) phosphate because of its stability, ease of synthesis, and higher rate of hydrolysis under saturating conditions.
