How It Works

Bevacizumab binds to vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), preventing its interaction with VEGF receptors on endothelial cells, thereby inhibiting angiogenesis.

Mechanism Steps

1Bevacizumab binds to circulating VEGF-A.
2Prevents VEGF-A from interacting with VEGFR-1 and VEGFR-2 on endothelial cells.
3Inhibits VEGF receptor dimerization and activation.
4Blocks downstream signaling pathways (e.g., PI3K/Akt, MAPK).
5Reduces endothelial cell proliferation, migration, and survival.
6Decreases tumor angiogenesis and vascular permeability.
7Leads to inhibition of tumor growth and metastasis.
