α-D-Glucose-1,6-bisphosphate is abis-phosphorylated derivative of α-D-glucose that has roles in carbohydrate metabolism.1It is the product of the reaction of glucose-1- or 6-phosphate with glucose-1,6-bisphosphate synthase (PGM2LI) in the conversion of 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate to 3-phosphoglycerate.2It is also a cofactor for the bacterial enzyme phosphopentomutase.3,4α-D-Glucose-1,6-bisphosphate has been used in the study of carbohydrate metabolism.

2-Keto-D-Glucose (D-Glucosone) is a key intermediate in a secondary metabolic pathway leading to the antibiotic Cortalcerone. It is found in various natural sources, including fungi, algae, and shellfish.
Azido-PEG4-beta-D-glucose is a polyethylene glycol (PEG)-based linker compound essential for the efficient synthesis of proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs)[1].
Propargyl-PEG4-beta-D-glucose is a polyethylene glycol (PEG) derivatized PROTAC linker employed in the preparation of PROteolysis TArgeting Chimeras (PROTACs)[1].
Propargyl-PEG2-beta-D-glucose is a polyethylene glycol (PEG) derived linker compound specifically designed for the synthesis of proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs)[1].
2-deoxy-2-fluoro-D-Glucose (2-FG) is a derivative of glucose with anticancer activity.1It inhibits the growth of 143B osteosarcoma cells grown under normoxic and hypoxic conditions when used at concentrations of 6 and 24 mM.
2-deoxy-D-Glucose-13C is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of 2-deoxy-D-glucose by GC- or LC-MS. 2-deoxy-D-Glucose is a glucose antimetabolite and an inhibitor of glycolysis. It inhibits hexokinase, the enzyme that converts glucose to glucose-6-phosphate, as well as phosphoglucose isomerase, the enzyme that converts glucose-6-phosphate to fructose-6-phosphate.
ADP-Glucose (ADPG) is an immediate precursor used in the biosynthesis, by glucose addition, of storage polysaccharides in plants, green algae, and cyanobacteria, as well as structural polysaccharides in certain bacteria.[1],[2] It is used by amylose synthases or starch synthases in plastids in the production of amylose, amylopectins, starch, and other polysaccharides. ADPG is normally generated within plastids, although it can be biosynthesized in the cytoplasm of certain grasses and imported into plastids by a membrane-bound transporter.[3]
