Metabolite Identification
Common Name2-deoxy-D-glucose
Description2-deoxy-D-glucose is a synthetic glucose analog belonging to the class of carbohydrate metabolites. Its chemical structure is characterized by the absence of a hydroxyl group at the 2-position of the glucose molecule, which alters its metabolic pathways. 2-deoxy-D-glucose is primarily involved in glycolysis, where it competes with glucose for uptake and phosphorylation, leading to the production of 2-deoxy-D-glucose-6-phosphate, which cannot proceed through the glycolytic pathway. This inhibition of glycolysis has been shown to have significant effects on cellular metabolism and function; for instance, Co2+-induced enhancement of glycolysis and cytokine secretion was significantly reduced when cells were treated with 2-deoxy-D-glucose, indicating its role in modulating metabolic responses (PMID:41036386 ). Additionally, 2-deoxy-D-glucose is utilized in imaging techniques, such as positron emission tomography (PET), where its fluorinated derivative, 18F-2-Fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose ([18F]FDG), serves as a crucial molecular probe for tumor detection in clinical settings (PMID:41036744 ).
