Temozolomide (TMZ) is most commonly used for the treatment of primary glioblastoma but is now being considered for the treatment of low-grade glioma that harbor mutations in the cytosolic isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) gene. Though the treatment of IDH1 mutant patients with TMZ improves survival, there is a need for complementary metabolic imaging approaches to help in assessing early response to therapy. Hyperpolarized 13C magnetic resonance spectroscopy-based metabolic profiling of mutant IDH1 cells treated with TMZ revealed that [1-13C]/[5-13C] glutamate production from [1-13C] α-ketoglutaric acid/[2-13C] pyruvate could serve as translatable biomarkers of response to therapy.
