Abstract
This has given a lead to study the role of 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2DG) against COVID-19 (corona virus) disease. We hereby would like to briefly discuss the concept and rationale behind the use of 2DG COVID-19. Virus infections can cause cell damage in many ways. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), a cause of the current COVID-19 pandemic, has been extensively studied so far to investigate its pathophysiology and evaluate its impact on the metabolic system of human cells. The Drug Controller General of India (DCGI) has given emergency use approval to 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG), an anti-Covid drug developed by INMAS, a DRDO lab, in collaboration with Dr Reddy's Laboratories (DRL), Hyderabad.
