| Targets |
2-Deoxy-2-fluoro-D-mannose (2-FM) is a glucose analog. It is transported into cells by glucose transporters (GLUTs), primarily GLUT1. Once inside the cell, it is phosphorylated by hexokinase to 2-deoxy-2-fluoro-D-mannose-6-phosphate (FDM-6-P). Unlike 2-deoxy-2-fluoro-D-glucose (FDG), FDM is not a substrate for glucose-6-phosphate isomerase, so it does not enter the glycolysis pathway. Instead, it is further metabolized to a mannose derivative, which may affect protein glycosylation. The mannose analog is a substrate for hexokinase.

| ln Vitro |
2-Deoxy-2-fluoro-D-mannose has demonstrated cytotoxic effects comparable to 2-DG. It is a known inducer of type II cell death (autophagy) in glioma cell lines (U87). The IC₅0 for U87 cells is in the low millimolar range (1-10 mM). It inhibits the growth of cancer cells by interfering with glucose metabolism and protein glycosylation. It has lower uptake in the brain and faster clearance from the bloodstream compared to FDG, making it a promising PET tracer for brain tumors. It also reduces atherosclerosis.
|
| ln Vivo |
2-Deoxy-2-fluoro-D-mannose is not used as a drug. The radiofluorinated form ([¹⁸F]FDM) is used as a PET imaging agent to detect tumors and sites of inflammation. It has shown comparable tumor uptake to the standard tracer [¹⁸F]FDG but with the advantage of lower brain uptake. It is also used to image bacterial infections. In research, the non-radioactive form can be administered to animals to study mannose metabolism. It has been shown to reduce atherosclerotic plaque inflammation in mouse models.

| Enzyme Assay |
[¹⁸F]FDM is a PET tracer. The purity of the radiotracer is determined by radio-HPLC and radio-TLC. For the non-radioactive standard, in vitro hexokinase activity assays are performed. Human hexokinase II (HK-II) is incubated with 0.5 mM ATP, 10 mM MgCl2, and varying concentrations of 2-Deoxy-2-fluoro-D-mannose (0-10 mM) in 50 mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 7.5) at 37degC for 30 min. The formation of the product (FDM-6-P) is measured by a coupled enzyme assay using G6PDH. The Km (Michaelis constant) is calculated.
|
| Cell Assay |
For the evaluation of cell viability, U87 glioma cells are seeded in 96-well plates (1×10⁴ cells/well) and treated with 2-Deoxy-2-fluoro-D-mannose (0-20 mM) for 48 h. Cell viability is measured by MTT assay. For metabolic studies, cells are treated with 2-10 mM of the compound for 24 h. The accumulation of the phosphorylated form is measured by LC-MS/MS. For GLUT1 transport assays, 3H-labeled 2-deoxy-2-fluoro-D-mannose is incubated with GLUT1-overexpressing HEK293 cells, and the uptake is measured.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo PET imaging: Male Balb/c mice bearing subcutaneous U87 human glioma xenografts (tumor size 5-10 mm) are injected intravenously with 2-10 mCi of [¹⁸F]FDM. A static PET scan is acquired at 60 min post-injection. The standardized uptake value (SUV) of the tumor is calculated and compared to the contralateral background. For toxicology studies, C57BL/6 mice are injected with 0.1-1 mg/kg of 2-Deoxy-2-fluoro-D-mannose (non-radioactive) intravenously. Blood glucose levels are measured at 0, 15, 30, 60, 120 min. No significant hypoglycemia is observed. The compound is non-toxic at the doses used for imaging.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
2-Deoxy-2-fluoro-D-mannose (MW 182.15, Log P -1.8) is highly hydrophilic. After intravenous injection, [¹⁸F]FDM distributes rapidly to the liver, kidneys, and tumors. It is cleared from the bloodstream faster than FDG. The radiotracer is not metabolized beyond the 6-phosphate form and is trapped in the cell. The non-radioactive compound is not used pharmacologically. The estimated elimination half-life is < 60 minutes in mice. The radiolabeled compound is for diagnostic PET imaging.

| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
For 2-Deoxy-2-fluoro-D-mannose, hazard statements: H315 (Causes skin irritation), H319 (Causes serious eye irritation), H335 (May cause respiratory irritation). Signal word: Warning. Precautionary statements: P261 (Avoid breathing dust/fume/gas/mist/vapors/spray), P280 (Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection), P305+P351+P338 (IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes). The radioactive form is subject to radiation safety regulations. Storage: at 2-8degC, dry.
