2-Deoxy-D-galactose CAS NO.1949-89-9

2-Deoxy-D-galactose is a glucose analog that shows a wide range of biological activities such as inhibition of glycolysis and thereby tumor growth, interference with the biosynthetic processing of glycoproteins, antiviral activity, and hepatotoxicity. It is being extensively studied as trapping agents for phosphate and uridylate in mammalian cells due to its ability to interfere in the phosphate and nucleotide metabolism.
