TL;DR: The recent discovery of mutations in metabolic enzymes has rekindled interest in harnessing the altered metabolism of cancer cells for cancer therapy, and isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1), which is mutated in multiple human cancers, is examined.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that inhibitors targeting mutant IDH2/R140Q could have potential applications as a differentiation therapy for cancer, and a small molecule, AGI-6780, that potently and selectively inhibits the tumor-associated mutant IDh2/ R140Q is developed.

TL;DR: It is shown that the targeted inhibitor AG-221 suppresses the mutant IDH2 enzyme in multiple preclinical models and induces differentiation of malignant blasts, supporting its clinical development.
Discovery of AG-120 (Ivosidenib): A First-in-Class Mutant IDH1 Inhibitor for the Treatment of IDH1 Mutant Cancers

TL;DR: AG-120 (ivosidenib), an inhibitor of the IDH1 mutant enzyme that exhibits profound 2-HG lowering in tumor models and the ability to effect differentiation of primary patient AML samples ex vivo is reported.

AG-221 Offers a Survival Advantage In a Primary Human IDH2 Mutant AML Xenograft Model
Katharine E. Yen,Fang Wang,Jeremy Travins,Yue Chen,Hua Yang,Kim Straley,Sung Choe,Marion Dorsch,David P. Schenkein,Samuel V. Agresta,Scott A. Biller,Michael Su +11 more
TL;DR: Preclinical in vivo evidence is provided that AG-221 may have clinical benefit for IDH2 mutant patients through the reduction of 2HG and the induction of blast differentiation and the onset of differentiation correlated with survival, whereas mice that died in the low dose groups failed to show signs of cellular differentiation.
