It competes with glucose for uptake by cells, and upon phosphorylation by hexokinase, it accumulates inside the cells. However, unlike glucose, 2-DG cannot proceed further in the glycolysis pathway, resulting in reduced energy production. This mechanism disrupts the viral replication process, making 2-DG a potential antiviral agent, particularly in inhibiting SARS-CoV-2 replication. It also has applications in cancer treatment, as cancer cells rely heavily on glycolysis for energy production (Warburg effect).\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003chr\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to Use 2-Deoxyglucose:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2-DG is commonly available in oral tablet form or powder.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdministration:\u003c\/strong\u003e The drug is usually taken orally with water.
