2DG - Brand Name - 50g

2DG - 50g is a high-quality biochemical reagent used predominantly for scientific research purposes. It is a white, crystalline powder that is easily soluble in water. 2DG, or 2-Deoxy-D-glucose, is a glucose analog where the 2-hydroxyl group is replaced by hydrogen, hence preventing it from undergoing further glycolysis. As a competitive inhibitor of glucose, it interrupts metabolism at the step of glucose uptake and glycolysis.

This product is non-radioactive and comes in a standard quantity of 50 grams but may also be available in different quantities. The chemical formula of 2DG is C6H12O5, and it has a molecular weight of approximately 164.16 g/mol.

2DG can be used in many types of research, most notably in cancer and diabetes studies where it is used to detect and reduce high levels of glucose consumption by cells. Because of its ability to mimic glucose, it is also often used in tracer experiments in PET scans.

It's important to note that 2DG should be stored in a cool, dry place, typically between -20°C and 0°C, and should be handled only by trained professionals. Proper safety gear should be worn when handling this compound as it can be hazardous when inhaled or when in direct contact with skin and eyes. Currently, 2DG is for research use only and is not intended for human or veterinary use.
