About Antineoplastic - Isocitrate Dehydrogenase-2 Inhibitor (IDH2).

The therapeutic drug class "Antineoplastic - Isocitrate Dehydrogenase-2 Inhibitor (IDH2)" comprises targeted oncology agents that selectively inhibit mutated forms of the mitochondrial enzyme isocitrate dehydrogenase-2.

By blocking the aberrant enzymatic conversion of alpha-ketoglutarate to the oncometabolite 2-hydroxyglutarate, these therapies reduce intracellular 2-hydroxyglutarate concentrations, reverse epigenetic hypermethylation, and induce cellular differentiation of malignant blast cells.

Agents in this class, such as enasidenib, are primarily indicated for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia harboring a confirmed IDH2 mutation.
