Abstract
2-Deoxy-D-glucose (2DG) is a variant of glucose lacking the 2-hydroxyl group. This minor alteration has significant biological and pharmacological implications, enhancing its therapeutic value and necessitating evaluations of its safety and efficacy in clinical environments. This chapter delves into the chemical composition of different deoxy-D-glucose molecules, focusing on the structure and characteristics of 2DG.
