DiseaseIDHP_HUMAN D-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria. Defects in IDH2 are the cause of D-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria type 2 (D2HGA2) [MIM:613657. D2HGA2 is a neurometabolic disorder causing developmental delay, epilepsy, hypotonia, and dysmorphic features. Both a mild and a severe phenotype exist. The severe phenotype is homogeneous and is characterized by early infantile-onset epileptic encephalopathy and cardiomyopathy. The mild phenotype has a more variable clinical presentation. Diagnosis is based on the presence of an excess of D-2-hydroxyglutaric acid in the urine.[1] FunctionIDHP_HUMAN Plays a role in intermediary metabolism and energy production. It may tightly associate or interact with the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex. Publication Abstract from PubMedSome mutations of isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 and 2 observed in multiple kinds of malignant tumors can lead to a neomorphic enzyme activity that converts alpha-ketoglutarate (alpha-KG) to 2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG). As an oncometabolite, 2-HG can cause epigenetic changes and impair cell differentiation. Inhibiting the activity of isocitrate dehydrogenase mutants (mIDH) is considered to be an effective therapy for the treatment of mIDH positive cancers, including glioma and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The presently disclosed allosteric inhibitors work only on one of the mIDH1 and mIDH2, and it is shown that mIDH1 and mIDH2 have different allosteric inhibition pockets. However, AG-881 from Agios Pharmaceuticals was found to be a pan-IDH inhibitor against both mIDH1 and mIDH2, and is undergoing Phase I clinical trials for tumors with an IDH1 and/or IDH2 mutation. To understand the binding mode of AG-881 to mIDHs, we solved the crystal structures of IDH1-R132H/NADPH/AG-881 and IDH2-R140Q/NADPH/AG-881 complexes, and acquired the IC50 values of AG-881 for IDH1-R132H and IDH2-R140Q homodimers after different pre-incubation times. Our data show that AG-881 binds IDH1-R132H and IDH2-R140Q in the same allosteric pockets and that the subtle difference in the pockets of these two proteins may contribute to their remarkably different inhibitory kinetics by AG-881. The structural pharmacological data provided in this report may benefit the future development of pan-IDH inhibitors targeting mIDH1 and mIDH2.
