3D-FF69747 - 6-fluoro-6-deoxyglucose | 34168-77-9

2-Deoxy-2-fluoro-D-glucose 6-phosphate barium salt is a glucose analogue used in positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of cancer. It is an inhibitor of glycolysis and phosphofructokinase, which are enzymes that catalyze the conversion of glucose to pyruvate. 2-Deoxy-2-fluoro-D-glucose 6-phosphate barium salt is taken up by the cell by active transport, then metabolized into 2 deoxy 2 fluoro D mannose phosphate and finally converted to glucosylceramide. The PET scan detects the accumulation of this molecule in cells with high glycolytic activity, such as cancer cells. This compound has been shown to inhibit hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell growth in vitro and in vivo.

1,2,3,4-Tetra-O-acetyl-6-deoxy-6-gluoro-D-glucopyranose is a glycosylation sugar that is synthesized by the click reaction of 2,3,4,6-tetraacetylpyridine with 6-deoxygluconohexose. It is a white to off white powder that is soluble in water and ethanol. This compound has been used as a building block for oligosaccharides and polysaccharides because it can be modified with methyl groups or fluorine atoms. 1,2,3,4-Tetra-O-acetyl-6-deoxyglucofuranose is also known for its high purity and chemical stability.
