Exploring metabolic vulnerability and therapeutic potential in cancers with isocitrate dehydrogenase mutations

Abstract:

Treatment of mutant isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) glioma remains challenging; targeted allosteric inhibitors currently provide limited clinical effect. Resistance to mutIDH1 inhibitors has also emerged in other cancers with mutant IDH1. IDH1 catalyses the decarboxylation of isocitrate to 2-oxoglutarate (2-OG) and concomitant reduction of NADP+ to NADPH. Upon mutation, the enzyme instead reduces 2-OG to (R)-2-hydroxyglutarate (2 HG) with NADPH. 2 HG accumulates to high levels i...
