2-DG is in the news and there is a quite some conflicting information around it. Let us try and make some sense of it. #2DGDrug
2-DG is short for 2-deoxy-D-glucose, a drug developed by DRDO (Defence Research and Development Organisation) in collaboration with Dr.Reddy’s Laboratories (DRL).
2-DG is a generic molecule, a synthetic analogue of glucose. It is said to selectively accumulate in SARS-CoV-2 infected cells, cutting off the glucose supply, reducing energy production and stopping further viral synthesis.
