6-Deoxy-D-glucose
6-Deoxy-D-glucose is a synthetic glucose molecule that cannot be metabolized by cells, making it useful in scientific research for studying glucose uptake and metabolism. It has also been investigated as a potential cancer treatment by inhibiting glycolysis and inducing cell death in cancer cells. Its ability to penetrate the blood-brain barrier also makes it a candidate for imaging brain glucose metabolism in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's.
