Are There Therapies Targeting Energy Metabolism in Cancer?
Several therapies aim to exploit the unique energy metabolism of cancer cells. Inhibitors of glycolysis, such as 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG), and drugs targeting key enzymes in metabolic pathways, like lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), are being investigated. These therapies seek to disrupt the energy supply of cancer cells, leading to their death or reduced proliferation.
