Abstract

SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.

Abstract

2-Deoxy-D-glucose (2DG) is a variant of glucose lacking the 2-hydroxyl group. This minor alteration has significant biological and pharmacological implications, enhancing its therapeutic value and necessitating evaluations of its safety and efficacy in clinical environments. This chapter delves into the chemical composition of different deoxy-D-glucose molecules, focusing on the structure and characteristics of 2DG.
