2-deoxy-D-Ribose is a reducing sugar formed as a degradation product during metabolism of thymidine by thymidine phosphorylase. It increases levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in HL-60 human leukemia cells when used at a concentration of 15 mM. 2-deoxy-D-Ribose (10 μM) induces tubulogenesis and migration of bovine aortic endothelial (BAE) cells. Topical administration of 2-deoxy-D-ribose increases blood vessel formation and accelerates wound healing in a rat full-thickness cutaneous wound model.
