6-Deoxy-6-iodo-D-glucose, CAS:6304-86-5

6-iodo-D-glucose6-Deoxy-6-iodo-D-glucose is a glucose analog that can be used as a bypassed substrate for the study of d-glucose metabolism in diabetic patients. 6-Deoxy-6-iodo-D-glucose has been shown to be an acceptable substrate for animal cells and can be used for the study of glucose uptake in the pancreas. This analog does not require insulin for uptake, which may help to elucidate the role of insulin resistance in diabetes. The use of 6-deoxy-6-[18F]fluoroethyl D-[1,2]-glucose ([18F]FDG) as an optical imaging agent has also been studied.Chemical Name6-deoxy-6-iodo-D-glucopyranoseSynonyms6-iodo-D-6-deoxy-glucose;6-deoxy-6-iodohexopyranose;6-deoxy-6-iodo-D-glucose;CAS No.6304-86-5Molecular FormulaC6H11IO5Molecular Weight290.05300MDL NoMFCD30489559PSA90.15000LogP-1.77870SmilesC([C@H]([C@H]([C@@H]([C@H](C=O)O)O)O)O)
