The α-ketoglutarate metabolite, 2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG), has emerged as an important mediator in a subset of cancers and rare inherited inborn errors of metabolism. Because of potential enantiospecific metabolism, chiral analysis is essential for determining the biochemical impacts of altered 2-HG

D-2-Hydroxyglutaric aciduria and L-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria are two distinct inherited metabolic diseases. The accurate diagnosis of the exact disorder relies on the determination of the configuration of the enantiomers, either D-2-hydroxyglutaric acid or L-2-hydroxyglutaric acid excreted in excess in urine of
Specific point mutations in isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 and 2 (IDH1 and IDH2) occur in a variety of cancers, including acute myeloid leukemia (AML), low-grade gliomas, and chondrosarcomas. These mutations inactivate wild-type enzymatic activity and convey neomorphic function to produce d-2-hydroxyglutarate
