Resumo2-deoxy-D-glucose, an uncatabolized analogue of D-glucose, was found to be a potent inhibitor of the growth of common spruce cells grown in tissue culture derived from hypocotyls of spruce seedlings. It was found that 2-deoxy-D-glucose was partially transformed into D-fructofuranosyl-β-(2→6) 2-deoxy-D-glucopyranose, 2-deoxy-D-glucopyranosyl-β-(1→6) 2-deoxy-D-glucopyranose and D-glucopyranosyl-β-(1→6) 2-deoxy-D-glucopyranose. When cultivated in the dark, the originally yellow culture transferred to a medium without growth substances turned green. The green culture accumulated phosphorylated metabolites of 2-deoxy-D-glucose.
