WZB-117 is a diester resulting from the formal condensation of the two hydroxy groups of 3-fluorocatechol with the carboxy groups of 3-hydroxybenzoic acid. It is an inhibitor of glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) that suppresses tumour growth in mouse xenograft models. It has a role as a radiosensitizing agent, a glucose transporter 1 inhibitor and an antineoplastic agent. It is a member of phenols, a benzoate ester, a diester and a member of monofluorobenzenes. It is functionally related to a 3-hydroxybenzoic acid and a 3-fluorocatechol.
