| Targets |
(2S)-Octyl-alpha-hydroxyglutarate targets the S-enantiomer of 2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG) metabolic pathways. 2-HG is a metabolite that is normally metabolized to 2-oxoglutarate by D- and L-2-hydroxyglutarate dehydrogenases. In certain cancers, particularly those with isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutations, 2-HG accumulates and acts as an oncometabolite that inhibits alpha-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases, leading to epigenetic changes and altered cell differentiation. The octyl ester modification enhances cellular uptake and intracellular accumulation of the compound. (2S)-Octyl-alpha-hydroxyglutarate is used to study the effects of the S-enantiomer of 2-HG on cellular metabolism and signaling.
