Description of Octyl-α-ketoglutarate

Octyl-α-ketoglutarate is a stable, cell-permeable form of α-ketoglutarate, a substrate of prolyl hydroxylases (PHD) [1][2].

The high turnover of HIFα is initiated by prolyl hydroxylases (PHD), which hydroxylate proline residues on the oxygen-dependent degradation (ODD) domain of HIFα, facilitating ubiquitination and degradation. To catalyze proline hydroxylation, PHDs convert molecular oxygen and α-ketoglutarate to carbon dioxide and succinate [2]. Loss of IDH1 activity would reduce cellular levels of α-KG [3].

Octyl-α-ketoglutarate is a cell-permeating α-ketoglutarate derivative, which built up rapidly and preferentially in cells with a dysfunctional TCA cycle. Octyl-α-ketoglutarate increased intracellular levels of freeα-ketoglutaric acid by approximately fourfold. In HEK293-derived cell lines expressing both a GFP-ODD fusion protein and HA-tagged pVHL, Octyl-α-ketoglutarate reactivated PHD activity inhibited by succinate or fumarate. Octyl-α-ketoglutarate restored hydroxylation and targeted HIF1 for ubiquitylation and proteasomally mediated degradation [2]. Octyl-α-ketoglutarate inhibited the HIF-1α induction caused by IDH1 knockdown in HeLa cells or overexpression of IDH1R132H mutant in U-87MG cells, suggesting a reduction in IDH1 activity caused a reduction in α-KG levels that in turn led to stabilization of HIF-1α [3].

Working concentration: mg/ml;

Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
3. All of the above co-solvents are available for purchase on the GlpBio website.
