Identification of a selective inhibitor of IDH2/R140Q enzyme that induces cellular differentiation in leukemia cells

Abstract Background IDH2/R140Q mutation is frequently detected in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). It contributes to leukemia via accumulation of oncometabolite D-2-HG. Therefore, mutant IDH2 is a promising target for AML. Discovery of IDH2 mutant inhibitors is in urgent need for AML therapy. Methods S...
