2DG foes Mannose and N-acetyl Cysteine (NAC)
2-deoxy-D-glucose A glucose molecule in which a hydrogen atom replaces the 2-OH group is termed 2DG. It is a glucose analog but an inhibitor of the glycolytic pathway. 2DG binds the Glut transporters at the place of glucose, enters the cell, and accumulates there. It is converted into 2-deoxy-D-glucose 6 phosphate (2DG6P) by Hexokinase. Then …
