【 摘 要 】

D-Glucose, in its normal form, is known to most of us. Inter­estingly, just by replacing an -OH group with a hydrogen, we get 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG) which has excellent medicinal properties. An interesting observation related to glycolysis led to the use of 2-DG as an anticancer drug. Recently, there has been sufficient evidence to support the efficacy of 2-DG as an anti-Covid medication.
