– WP-1122(WP 1122) is a candidate drug to treat SARS-COV-2(COVID-19) .2-DG completely prevented SARS-CoV2 replication in Caco2 cells. Glycolysis is a process by which cells convert glucose into energy and infected (host) cells are induced by viruses to dramatically increase their dependence on glycolysis. WP1122 is a prodrug of 2-DG whereby chemical elements are added to 2-DG to improve its delivery in vivo.
