2-deoxy-glucose, 2-deoxy-d-glucose, 2DG has many functions, among them:

1. anti cancer - several US companies are undergoing clinical trials with 2DG for treating cancer.

2. weight loss - its unique property makes it an ideal weight loss management product.

3. Anti - aging - Scientific American once had a long article about the trial with 2DG.

4. Anti - Herpes - and treatment of aids

2-deoxy-D-glucose (2DG) is a synthetic glucose analog under development by Threshold Pharmaceuticals, Inc. that exploits the differences in metabolism between normal and malignant cells. Malignant cells utilize glucose at a much higher rate than normal cells and are therefore more dependent on aerobic and anaerobic glycolysis. If glycolysis could be blocked preferentially in malignant cells, 2DG would have potential for anti-tumor therapy. Hypoxic cells are especially dependent on anaerobic glycolysis and are generally resistant to anti-tumor therapies such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy.


Therefore, combining 2DG with chemotherapy may be a way to simultaneously target both hypoxic and aerobic cells in tumors.
