| Application: | 2-Deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG) is used in glucoprivic feeding research to invoke and study the processes of counter-regulatory response (CRR). 2-Deoxy-D-glucose is used in the development of anti-cancer strategies that involve radio- and chemosensitization and oxidative stress. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | 2-Deoxy-D-Glucose (2-Deoxyglucose) is a glucose analog that inhibits glycolysis via its actions on hexokinase, the rate limiting step of glycolysis. It is phosphorylated by hexokinase to 2-DG-P which can not be further metabolized by phosphoglucose isomerase. This leads to the accumulation of 2-DG-P in the cell and the depletion in cellular ATP. In vitro, 2-Deoxyglucose has been shown to induce autophagy, increase ROS production, and activate AMPK. |
| Features and Benefits: | • High-purity compound suitable for a wide variety of research applications |
| General description: | 2-Deoxy-D-glucose, a non-metabolizable glucose analogue, disrupts glycolysis by targeting hexokinase, the rate-limiting step in glycolysis. Phosphorylated to 2-DG-P by hexokinase, it accumulates in the cell, depleting cellular ATP. This approach, effective in starving and killing cancer cells, may also inhibit virus cells reliant on glycolysis for replication. This versatile molecule finds application in cancer, virology, metabolomics and biochemical research. |
