Definitions

• Isocitrate dehydrogenases catalyze the oxidative decarboxylation of isocitrate to 2-oxoglutarate (i.e., a-ketoglutarate). These enzymes belong to two distinct subclasses, one of which utilizes NAD(+) as the electron acceptor and the other NADP(+).
• NAD(+) the electron acceptor
• NADP(+)-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenases Five isocitrate dehydrogenases have been reported: three NAD(+)-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenases, which localize to the mitochondrial matrix, and two NADP(+)-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenases, one of which is mitochondrial and the other predominantly cytosolic. Each NADP(+)-dependent isozyme is a homodimer.
• IDH1/2 isocitrate dehydrogenase 1/2 (NADP+), mitochondrial
• IDP isocitrate dehydrogenase 1/2 (NADP+)
• IDHM isocitrate dehydrogenase 1/2
• ICD-M isocitrate dehydrogenase 1/2

• HMBA hematomabrate

• cytokines such as colony- stimulating factors including G-CSF and GM-CSF, and interferons.
• the additional cancer therapeutic agent is a targeted therapy agent.
• Targeted therapy constitutes the use of agents specific for the deregulated proteins of cancer cells.
• Small molecule targeted therapy drugs are generally inhibitors of enzymatic domains on mutated, overexpressed, or otherwise critical proteins within the cancer cell.
• Prominent examples are the tyrosine kinase inhibitors such as Axitinib, Bosutinib, Cediranib, dasatinib, erlotinib, imatinib, gefitinib, lapatinib, Lestaurtinib, Nilotinib, Semaxanib, Sorafenib, Sunitinib, and Vandetanib, and also cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors such as Alvocidib and Seliciclib.
• Monoclonal antibody therapy is another strategy in which the therapeutic agent is an antibody which specifically binds to a protein on the surface of the cancer cells. Examples include the anti-HER2/neu antibody trastuzumab (HERCEPTIN®) typically used in breast cancer, and the anti-CD20 antibody rituximab and Tositumomab typically used in a variety of B-cell
• exemplary antibodies include Cetuximab, Panitumumab, Trastuzumab, Alemtuzumab, Bevacizumab, Edrecolomab, and Gemtuzumab.
• exemplary fusion proteins include Aflibercept and Denileukin diftitox.
• the targeted therapy can be used in combination with a compound described herein, e.g., a biguanide such as metformin or phenformin, preferably phenformin.
• Targeted therapy can also involve small peptides as "homing devices” which can bind to cell surface receptors or affected extracellular matrix surrounding the tumor. Radionuclides which are attached to these peptides (e.g., RGDs) eventually kill the cancer cell if the nuclide decays in the vicinity of the cell.
• RGDs Radionuclides which are attached to these peptides
• An example of such therapy includes BEXXAR®.
• the additional cancer therapeutic agent is an immunotherapy agent.
• Cancer immunotherapy refers to a diverse set of therapeutic strategies designed to induce the subject's own immune system to fight the tumor. Contemporary methods for generating an immune response against tumors include intravesicular BCG immunotherapy for superficial bladder cancer, and use of interferons and other cytokines to induce an immune response in renal cell carcinoma and melanoma subjects.
• Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation can be considered a form of immunotherapy, since the donor's immune cells will often attack the tumor in a
• the immunotherapy agents can be used in combination with a compound or composition described herein.
• the additional cancer therapeutic agent is a hormonal therapy agent.
• the growth of some cancers can be inhibited by providing or blocking certain hormones.
• hormone- sensitive tumors include certain types of breast and prostate cancers. Removing or blocking estrogen or testosterone is often an important additional treatment.
• administration of hormone agonists, such as progestogens may be therapeutically beneficial.
• the hormonal therapy agents can be used in combination with a compound or a composition described herein.
• reagents were purchased from commercial sources (including Alfa, Acros, Sigma Aldrich, TCI and Shanghai Chemical Reagent Company), and used without further purification. Flash chromatography was performed on an Ez Purifier III using a column with silica gel particles of 200-300 mesh. Analytical and preparative thin layer chromatography plates (TLC) were HSGF 254 (0.15-0.2 mm thickness, Shanghai Anbang Company, China).
