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.
Keywords: Analysis, Deoxy-D-glucose, Property, Structure, Toxicity.
