Compound class: Antibody
Comment: Pulocimab (AK109) is a humanized IgG1 anti-KDR (VEGFR2) monoclonal antibody. It blocks binding of VEGF to KDR, and exhibits dose-dependent antitumour activity in vitro. This mechanism disrupts the neoangiogenesis that is crucial for tumour survival, thus provoking cancer cell death. Peptide sequences that compose the variable (V) domains of the heavy and light chains of pulocimab are claimed in patent WO2003075840A2 (Imclone Systems Inc.) [2].
