Application

Octyl-(R)-2 hydroxyglutarate (HG) has been used as a membrane permeamble oncometabolite in gliblostoma cells to test its effects on NANOG transcription factor expression. It has also been used as a competitive inhibitor of the enzyme α-ketoglutarate (α-KG)-dependent deoxygenase.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Octyl-(R)-2HG (Octyl-D-2HG) is a membrane-permeant precursor form of the oncometabolite D-2-hydroxyglutarate (D-2HG) produced by tumor cells due to mutations in the NADP+-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase genes IDH1 and IDH2. D-2HG inhibits multiple α-ketoglutarate/α-KG-dependent dioxygenases by competing against α-KG binding. Cellular D-2HG delivery by Octyl-(R)-2HG treatment (1-50 mM) is shown to suppress demethylase activity (~148% H3K9me2 and ~310% H3K79me2 upregulation; 50 mM in U-87MG) as well as increase HIF-1α and decrease endostatin levels as a result of inhibiting α-KG-dependent dioxygenases prolyl hydroxylases (PHDs) and collagen prolyl-4-hydroxylase (C-P4H), respectively.

Mutations in the cytosolic NADP(+)-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH1) occur in several types of cancer, and altered cellular metabolism associated with IDH1 mutations presents unique therapeutic opportunities. By altering IDH1, these mutations target a critical step in reductive glutamine metabolism, the

Mutations of isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) and IDH2 in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells produce the oncometabolite R-2-hydroxyglutarate (R-2HG) to induce epigenetic alteration and block hematopoietic differentiation. However, the effect of R-2HG released by IDH-mutated AML cells on the bone

2-Hydroxyglutarate (2HG) exists as two enantiomers, (R)-2HG and (S)-2HG, and both are implicated in tumor progression via their inhibitory effects on α-ketoglutarate (αKG)-dependent dioxygenases. The former is an oncometabolite that is induced by the neomorphic activity conferred by isocitrate dehydrogenase

IDH1 and IDH2 mutations occur frequently in gliomas and acute myeloid leukemia, leading to simultaneous loss and gain of activities in the production of α-ketoglutarate (α-KG) and 2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG), respectively. Here we demonstrate that 2-HG is a competitive inhibitor of
