AGI-6780 is a selective inhibitor of IDH2/R140Q a tumor-associated mutant of isocitrate dehydrogenase IDH2.
AGI-6780 is a selective inhibitor of IDH2/R140Q a tumor-associated mutant of isocitrate dehydrogenase IDH2. Several human cancers have somatic point mutations in the genes encoding isocitrate dehydrogenases 1 and 2 (IDH1 and IDH2), confering a gain-of-function in cancer cells in which the mutant enzymes produce the oncometabolite (R)-2-hydroxyglutarate, [(R)-2HG]. (R)-2HG inhibits histone- and DNA-modifying enzymes, resulting in altered gene expression, histone and DNA hypermethylation, and inducing a block in cellular differentiation that promotes tumorigenesis. AGI-6780 reduced (R)-2HG levels in cell lines overexpressing IDH2/R140Q with an EC50 of 20 nM, and induced differentiation of TF-1 erythroleukemia and primary human acute myelogenous leukemia cells in vitro. AGI-6780 binds allosterically at the dimer interface of IDH2. AGI-6780 shows good selectivity against other dehydrogenases, including the closely related IDH1-WT or R132H mutant enzymes.

Small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs) are core spliceosome components and mediate pre-mRNA splicing. Here we show that snRNAs contain a regulated and reversible nucleotide modification causing them to exist as two different methyl isoforms, m1 and m2, reflecting the methylation state
Isocitrate dehydrogenases (IDHs) are metabolic enzymes that are mutated in several cancers, resulting in overproduction of d-2-hydroxyglutarate (D-2HG). However, the signalling pathways and factors that regulate mutant IDHs or their metabolites remain elusive. Here, we report that in synchronized cells
We offer a variety of small molecule research tools, such as transcription factor modulators, inhibitors of chromatin modifying enzymes, and agonists/antagonists for target identification and validation in gene regulation research; a selection of these research tools is shown below.
