2-Deoxy-d-glucose is a glucose molecule which has the 2-hydroxyl group replaced by hydrogen, so that it cannot undergo further glycolysis. As such; it acts to competitively inhibit the production of glucose-6-phosphate from glucose at the phosphoglucoisomerase level (step 2 of glycolysis).

2-DG is up taken by the glucose transporters of the cell.Laussel Clotilde Léon Sébastien December 2020 Cellular toxicity of the metabolic inhibitor 2-deoxyglucose and associated resistance mechanisms Biochemical Pharmacology en 182 114213 10.1016/j.bcp.2020.114213 32890467 free Therefore, cells with higher glucose uptake, for example tumor cells, have also a higher uptake of 2-DG. Since 2-DG hampers cell growth, its use as a tumor therapeutic has been suggested, and in fact, 2-DG is in clinical trials.

The fact that glycolysis is inhibited by 2-DG, seems not to be sufficient to explain why 2-DG treated cells stop growing. 10.1073/pnas.0803090105 19004802 2584745 A catabolic block does not sufficiently explain how 2-deoxy-D-glucose inhibits cell growth Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 105 46 17807–17811 2008 Ralser M.

This is increasingly done in tandem with a CT function which is part of the same PET/CT machine, to allow better localization of small-volume tissue glucose-uptake differences.January 2025
Indian adoption for COVID-19 treatment
On May 8, 2021, the Drugs Controller General of India approved an oral formulation of 2-deoxy-D-glucose for emergency use as adjunct therapy in moderate to severe coronavirus patients.What is 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG) and is it effective against Covid?, The Economic Times, 17 May 2021.2021-05-08 DCGI approves anti-COVID drug developed by DRDO for emergency use https://pib.gov.in/PressReleasePage.aspx?PRID=1717007 2021-05-09 Press Information Bureau, Government of India en-IN
The drug was developed by the DRDO along with Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, who jointly claimed via a press release, that the drug "helps in faster recovery of hospitalised patients and reduces supplemental oxygen dependence".Borana Ronak 2021-05-12 India's Drug Regulator Has Approved DRDO's New COVID Drug on Missing Evidence https://science.thewire.in/the-sciences/dcgi-drdo-2-dg-covid-19-treatment-phase-2-3-trials-shoddy-evidence/ 2021-05-18 The Wire Science en-GBKoshy Jacob 2021-05-11 Questions remain on DRDO's COVID drug en-IN The Hindu https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/questions-remain-on-drdos-covid-drug/article34537596.ece 2021-05-18 0971-751X The Wire as well as The Hindu noted that the approval was based on poor evidence; no journal publication (or preprint) concerning efficacy and safety are yet available.
