Bis-imidazole phenol blocks D-2-hydroxyglutaric acid synthesis in cells.[1]
bis-Imidazole phenol is a potent and cell permeable inhibitor of isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) mutant R132H that inhibits D-2-hydroxyglutaric acid (2HG) production in cells. bis-Imidazole phenol binds to an IDH1 R132H allosteric site at the dimer interface containing residue involved in binding of the catalytically essential divalent cation.

Cancer-associated point mutations in isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 and 2 (IDH1 and IDH2) confer a neomorphic enzymatic activity: the reduction of α-ketoglutarate to d-2-hydroxyglutaric acid, which is proposed to act as an oncogenic metabolite by inducing hypermethylation of histones and DNA.
