Biological Activity
| ln Vitro | In ascites hepatoma cells, 2-Deoxy-D-galactose (1 mM/L; 5 h) is phosphorylated rapidly during the first 30 min and then drops to around 20% of this rate throughout the following hours[4]. |
| ln Vivo | 2-Deoxy-D-galactose (380 mg/kg; intraperitoneally; six times) significantly reduces the amounts of UDP galactose, UMP, and UDPG in rat livers[1]. 2-Deoxy-D-galactose (2–8 μM; intracerebroventricular injection; once) exhibits PAR impairment 15 minutes after do-gal administration and 30 minutes before to the acquisition trial at a dose of 4 μM[3]. |
| Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: Male adult Wistar rats with passive avoidance response (PAR) acquisition trial[3] ] Doses: 2, 4 and 8 μM Route of Administration: Intracerebroventricular injection; 2-8 μM; once Experimental Results: demonstrated PAR disruption at a dose of 4 μM. |
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Absorption, Distribution and Excretion WHEN THE RENAL EXCRETION OF 2-DEOXYGLUCOSE WAS STUDIED IN DOGS AND RATS BY CONVENTIONAL CLEARANCE AND STOP-FLOW TECHNIQUES, IT WAS REABSORBED BY THE RENAL TUBULES AT AN AVG OF 68-89% OF THE FILTERED LOADS AND THE REABSORPTION SITE WAS IN THE PROXIMAL TUBULES. Metabolism / Metabolites 2-DEOXY-D-GLUCOSE WAS CONVERTED TO THE 6-PHOSPHATE IN MOUSE TESTIS AND LIVER AFTER IP INJECTION OF 50 MG/KG BODY WT DAILY FOR 7 DAYS. |
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Interactions 2-DEOXYGLUCOSE INJECTED INTRAPERITONEALLY IN RATS IN LARGE DOSES CAUSED CHANGES IN THE ELECTRORETINOGRAM CONSISTING OF A DECR IN BOTH ALPHA- AND BETA-WAVES. THE EFFECT WAS ANTAGONIZED BY D-GLUCOSE. SIMULTANEOUS ADMIN OF GLUCOSE @ DOSE EXCEEDING ITS MAX TUBULAR TRANSPORT CAPACITY INHIBITED TUBULAR REABSORPTION OF 2-DEOXYGLUCOSE. THUS, THE PROCESS OF TUBULAR REABSORPTION IS PROBABLY THE SAME AS THAT FOR GLUCOSE. IN ANESTROUS SHEEP, 2-DEOXYGLUCOSE INFUSION INHIBITED LH RELEASE INDUCED BY ESTRADIOL BUT NOT BY LH-RH. 2-DEOXY-D-GLUCOSE INHIBITED REPAIR OF POTENTIALLY LETHAL DAMAGE INDUCED BY X-RAYS IN MOUSE EHRLICH ASCITES TUMOR CELLS.

| Additional Infomation |
2-deoxy-D-galactose is a deoxygalactose. It is functionally related to an aldehydo-D-galactose and a D-galactose. 2-Deoxy-D-glucose is a non-metabolizable glucose analog in which the hydroxyl group at position 2 of glucose is replaced by hydrogen, with potential glycolysis inhibiting and antineoplastic activities. Although the exact mechanism of action has yet to be fully elucidated, upon administration of 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG), this agent competes with glucose for uptake by proliferating cells, such as tumor cells. 2-DG inhibits the first step of glycolysis and therefore prevents cellular energy production, which may result in decreased tumor cell proliferation.

Note: Listed below are some common formulations that may be used to formulate products with low water solubility (e.g. < 1 mg/mL), you may test these formulations using a minute amount of products to avoid loss of samples. Injection Formulations (e.g. IP/IV/IM/SC) Injection Formulation 1: DMSO : Tween 80： Saline = 10 : 5 : 85 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO stock solution → 50 μL Tween 80 → 850 μL Saline) *Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH ₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Injection Formulation 2: DMSO : PEG300 ：Tween 80 : Saline = 10 : 40 : 5 : 45 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 400 μLPEG300 → 50 μL Tween 80 → 450 μL Saline) Injection Formulation 3: DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 900 μL Corn oil) Example: Take the Injection Formulation 3 (DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90) as an example, if 1 mL of 2.5 mg/mL working solution is to be prepared, you can take 100 μL 25 mg/mL DMSO stock solution and add to 900 μL corn oil, mix well to obtain a clear or suspension solution (2.5 mg/mL, ready for use in animals).
