2-Deoxy-D-glucose
Chemical Name: 2-Deoxy-D-arabino-hexose
Biological Activity
2-Deoxy-D-glucose is a non-metabolizable glucose analog. Inhibits phosphorylation of glucose by hexokinase; causes depletion of cellular ATP. Also inhibits phosphoglucose isomerase (PGI) competitively. Causes cell cycle inhibition and cell death in in vitro models of hypoxia; blocks tumor cell growth in animal models. Also shown to induce the unfolded protein response (UPR). 2-Deoxy-D-glucose disrupts N-glycan expression on the surface of pancreatic adenocarcinoma cells. 2-Deoxy-D-glucose enhances chimeric antigen receptor T cell activity in different xenograft mouse models of pancreatic adenocarcinoma cells.Technical Data
