It has been jointly prepared by DRDO's Institute of Nuclear Medicine and Allied Sciences INMAS and Hyderabad Center for Cellular and Molecular Biology CCMB. This drug is named 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG). The responsibility of manufacturing it has been given to Dr Reddy Laboratories based in Hyderabad. According to the report by Manjeet Negi of India Today, clinical trials of the drug have been successful. It is claimed that rapid recovery was seen in the patients on whom it was used. Also, the dependence of oxygen on patients was reduced.
