| Bioactivity | 2-Deoxy-D-galactose is a glucose analog. 2-Deoxy-D-galactose inhibits glycolysis to inhibits tumor growth. 2-Deoxy-D-galactose is a substance interfering with the fucosylation of glycomacromolecules and impairing memory consolidation in various learning tasks. 2-Deoxy-d-galactose hinders glycoprotein fucosylation in vivo[1]. |
| Invitro | 2-Deoxy-D-galactose (1 mM/L; 5 h) is rapid phosphorylation during the first 30 min and decreases to approximately 20% of this rate during the subsequent hours in ascites hepatoma cells[4]. |
| In Vivo | 2-Deoxy-D-galactose (380 mg/kg; i.p.; for 6 times) strongly decreases contents of UMP, UDPG, and UDP galactose in rat livers[1].2-Deoxy-D-galactose (2-8 μM; intracerebroventricularly injection; once) shows PAR impairment 30 min before the acquisition trial a dose of 4 μM and 15 min delay after do-gal administration[3].
