• Beschreibung

  α-Hydroxyglutaric acid (2-HG) is an α-hydroxy acid. It is metabolized to 2-oxoglutarate by D- and L-2-hydroxyglutarate dehydrogenases, and mutations in these enzymes lead to 2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria, a neurometabolic disorder characterized by increased levels of L-2-hydroxyglutaric acid . 2-HG can also be metabolized from isocitrate by mutated forms of isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) and IDH2. 2-HG is structurally similar to α-ketoglutarate, the product of wild-type isocitrate dehydrogenases, and competitively inhibits α-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases, including histone lysine demethylases and DNA hydroxylases.

• Chemische Eigenschaften

  White to Off-White Solid

• Verwenden

  2-Hydroxyglutaric acid is a potential inhibitor of glutamate carboxypeptidase.

• Biochem/physiol Actions

  D-(or R-) enantiomer of α-hydroxyglutaric acid is a cancer related biomarker of diagnostic value, whereas the L-(or S-) enantiomer of α-hydroxyglutaric acid is a biomarker for certain neurometabolic, inherited disorder diseases. It has no known physiological function in eukaryotes. It is toxic to the brain and increases the susceptibility to develop brain tumors.

• in vitro

  in humans the enzyme hydroxyacid-oxoacid transhydrogenase catalyzed the formation of d-α-hydroxyglutaric acid, while d-α-hydroxyglutaric acid is catalyzed by 2-hydroxyglutarate synthase in bacteria. recent study discovered heterozygous somatic mutations in the genes encoding isocitrate dehydrogenase-1 and -2 (idh1 and idh2) and these mutations could disable the enzymes' ability to convert 2-ketoglutarate to d-α-hydroxyglutarate. the authors also found heterozygous germline mutations in idh2 that alter enzyme residue in patients with d-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria, a neurometabolic disorder characterized by supraphysiological levels of d-α-hydroxyglutaric acid [1].

• in vivo

  previous animal study demonstrated that the overexpression of the isocitrate dehydrogenase-1 (idh1) mutation resulted in detectable levels of d-α-hydroxyglutaric acid in a mouse glioma model that could be measured in vivo and noninvasively by mrs. results showed that this mouse model system was of potential application in establishing the relationships among d-α-hydroxyglutaric acid levels and treatment effect, outcomes, as well as other related and necessary variables to validate d-α-hydroxyglutaric acid as a clinically important biomarker for glioma [2].
