The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has sought Expression of Interest (EoI) for transfer of technology for bulk manufacturing of the 2-Deoxy-D-Glucose (2-DG), a drug developed by the DRDO for treatment of Covid-19 patients.
The drug has been developed by the Institute of Nuclear Medicine and Allied Sciences (INMAS), a lab of the DRDO, in collaboration with Dr Reddy's Laboratories (DRL), Hyderabad.
2-DG is a glucose analogue, which has the 2-hydroxyl group replaced by hydrogen. The molecule is transported in cells by the glucose transporters on the cell membrane but it cannot undergo further glycolysis and act as inhibitor of glycolysis. Therefore, cells with higher glucose uptake, for example tumor cells, virally infected cells, inflammatory cells have also a higher uptake of 2-DG.
