Product Description

Disodium (R)-2-Hydroxyglutarate (also known as D-2-HGA, or 2-HG) is a potent and competitive inhibitor of α-ketoglutarate (α-KG)-dependent dioxygenases with Ki value of 0.628 mM. In U-87MG cells, (R)-2-Hydroxyglutarate acts as weak antagonists of α-KG to inhibit α-KG-dependent histone demethylases and increases dimethylation on both H3K9 and H3K79. Besides, (R)-2-Hydroxyglutarate also inhibits ATP synthase and mTOR signaling, and therefore causes growth arrest and tumor cell killing. Inhibition of ATP synthase by 2-HG or α-KG in glioblastoma cells is sufficient for growth arrest and tumor cell killing under conditions of glucose limitation, e.g., when ketone bodies (instead of glucose) are supplied for energy. These findings inform therapeutic strategies and open avenues for investigating the roles of 2-HG and metabolites in biology and disease.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) 1 and 2 gene mutations cause the accumulation of D-α-hydroxyglutaric acid disodium ((R)-2-hydroxyglutarate) in human malignancies [1][2]. KDM7A partially inhibited H3K9me2 and H3K27me2 peptides when 50 mM D-2-HG and 100 μM α-ketoglutarate (α-KG) were present. If 300 μM α-KG is added, it can counteract the inhibitory action of 50 mM D-2-HG on CeKDM7A, proving that D-α-Hydroxyglutaric acid disodium is merely a weak competitive inhibitor of α-KG directed at CeKDM7A demethylase[1]. TET hydroxylase is weakly inhibited by D-α-Hydroxyglutaric acid disodium. When 10 mM D-α-hydroxyglutarate was added in the presence of 0.1 mM α-KG, TET2 was partially (33%) inhibited, and higher inhibition (83%) was observed when 50 mM D-α-hydroxyglutarate was added. TET1 is less obviously inhibited by D-α-hydroxyglutaric acid [1].
ln Vivo
In rat cerebral cortex, human skeletal muscle, and bovine heart mitochondrial granules, D-α-hydroxyglutaric acid significantly inhibits glucose utilization, CO2 generation, and the respiratory chain, indicating decreased aerobic metabolism [5]. Due to its ability to stimulate the particular NMDA glutamate receptor, D-α-hydroxyglutaric acid is also regarded as an endogenous excitotoxic organic acid since it severely lowers cell survival in cultures of chick embryo telencephalon and newborn rat hippocampus neurons[5]. In the cortical supernatants of 30-day-old rats (TAR) value, D-α-Hydroxyglutaric acid disodium (0.01-1 mM) significantly reduces overall antioxidant reactivity and enhances chemiluminescence and thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBA-RS)[5].

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
