Glucose metabolism and prodrug route inside the cells: Glucose or glyco-conjugated pro drugs get internalized inside the cells via glucose transporters (GLUTs). Glucose metabolism follows either path a—anaerobic glycosylation; path b—aerobic glycosylation; or path c—cleavage of the active drug by a glycosydic enzyme.
