2‐Deoxy‐ d ‐glucose exploits increased glucose metabolism in cancer and viral‐infected cells: Relevance to its use in India against SARS‐CoV ‐2

Abstract excerpt

Mechanisms discovered to drive increased glucose metabolism in cancer cells are found to be similar to those in viral-infected cells. In this mini review, we summarize the major pathways by which the sugar analog, 2-Deoxy-d-glucose, has been shown to exploit increased glucose metabolism in cancer and how this information applies to viral-infected cells. Moreover, we highlight the relevance of these findings to...
