Primary TargetBlocks the binding of VEGF165 to its receptors
Target IC50: 700 nM for VEGFR1, 1.3 µM for VEGFR2
General description
A macrocyclic 17-amino acid peptide derived from residues 79 - 93 of vascular endothelial growth factor that mediate its binding to VEGFR-2. It blocks the binding of VEGF165 to its receptors (IC50 = 700 nM for VEGFR1, 1.3 µM for VEGFR2) and exhibits anti-angiogenic activity as well as other VEGFR-mediated cellular functions, such as proliferation (IC50 = 5.8 µM), migration (IC50 = 8.2 µM), and activation of MAP kinases. Its anti-angiogenic activity has been successfully demonstrated in vivo using chick embryos and nude mice tumor models of human intracranial and syngeneic glioma.
