Background
IC50: < 100 nMAG-120 is an IDH1 inhibitor.Isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) is a metabolic enzyme interconverting isocitrate and α-ketoglutarate (α-KG), but cancer-associated mutations of IDH1 and IDH2 confer a neomorphic activity, which allows reduction of α-KG to the oncometabolite 2-HG.In vitro: TF-1 cells or primary human AML patient samples expressing mutant IDH1 were treated with AG-120, and the results showed that in TF-1 IDH1-R132H cells, AG-120 was able to decrease the intracellular 2-HG levels, inhibit growth factor independent proliferation and restore erythropoietin-induced differentiation [1]. Ex vivo: Previous ex-vivo study showed that the pharmacological inhibition of mutant IDH1 enzyme with AG-120 in primary human blast cells led to an effective way to lower intracellular 2-HG levels and induced myeloid differentiation [1]. Clinical trial: In a phase I clinical trial, 62 patients with advanced IDH1 mutation–positive solid tumors were treated with single agent AG-120 orally once a day. Results showed that 7 of 11 patients with IDH1 mutant–positive chondrosarcoma had stable disease; 1 out of 20 patients with IDH1 mutant–positive IHCC had a partial response and 11 patients had SD; and one out of four patients with other IDH1 mutant–positive solid tumors had SD [2].
