2,3-Diphosphoglyceric acid
2,3-Diphosphoglyceric acid (2,3-DPG) is an intermediate metabolite of the 2,3-BPG shunt in erythrocytes, capable of binding to hemoglobin and modulating oxygen affinity. 2,3-Diphosphoglyceric acid stabilizes the deoxyhemoglobin T-state conformation, reduces hemoglobin oxygen affinity, and promotes oxygen release in tissues. 2,3-Diphosphoglyceric acid inhibits the growth of Plasmodium falciparum within erythrocytes without causing hemolysis or a decrease in ATP levels. 2,3-Diphosphoglyceric acid is useful for research related to malaria and Alzheimer's disease.
The free form of the compound is prone to instability, it is advisable to consider the stable salt form (2,3-Diphosphoglyceric acid pentasodium) that retains the same biological activity.

In Vitro
2,3-Diphosphoglyceric acid (8 mM; 48 h) reduces the number of merozoites produced by 3D7 P. falciparum schizonts in human erythrocytes[2].
2,3-Diphosphoglyceric acid (8 mM; 96 h) inhibits the invasion and maturation of 3D7 P. falciparum without depleting ATP in human RBCs, whereas pretreatment of RBCs before infection has no effect[2].
2,3-Diphosphoglyceric acid (8 mM) does not block the escape or re-invasion of 3D7 P. falciparum from untreated human RBCs[2].
2,3-Diphosphoglyceric acid (8 mM; 30 h) shifts the metabolic profile of 3D7 P. falciparum-infected human RBCs closer to that of uninfected RBCs, possibly involving specific metabolites[2].
