Half Life | 114 hours |
Description | It is an epidermal growth factor receptor which binds to FAB region. Cetuximab consists of the variable antigen-binding regions of the 225 murine EGFr monoclonal antibody that is specific for N-terminal part of human EGFr with human IgG1 heavy chain and kappa light chain constant regions. |
Indication/Disease | Used to treat EGFR-expressing metastatic colorectal cancer in patients resistant to irinotecan based chemotherapy regimens. Also used to treat squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck in combination with radiation therapy. |
Pharmacodynamics | Cetuximab specifically binds to the epidermal growth factor receptors (EGFr, HER1, c-ErbB-1) on both normal and tumor cells(EGFr is over-expressed in many colorectal cancers). Cetuximab competitively inhibits the binding of epidermal growth factor (EGF) and other ligands, such as transforming growth factor–alpha. Binding of cetuximab to the EGFr blocks phosphorylation and activation of receptor-associated kinases, resulting in inhibition of cell growth, induction of apoptosis, decreased matrix metalloproteinase secretion and reduced vascular endothelial growth factor production. |
Mechanism of Action | Cetuximab binds to EGFr (over-expressed in many colorectal cancers) on both normal and tumor cells. Cetuximab competitively inhibits the binding of epidermal growth factor (EGF) and TGF alpha, thereby reducing their effects on cell growth and metastatic spread. |
Toxicity | Single doses of cetuximab more than 500 mg/m2 have'nt been tested. There is no report of overdosage in human clinical trials. |

Therapeutic Peptide/Protein Name | Cetuximab |
Sequence | Heavy chain:QVQLKQSGPGLVQPSQSLSITCTVSGFSLTNYGVHWVR view full sequnce in fasta |
Functional Classification | IIIc |
Molecular Weight | 145781.6 |
Chemical Formula | C6484H10042N1732O2023S36 |
Isoelectric Point | 8.48 |
Hydrophobicity | -0.413 |
Melting Point (℃) | 71 |
Half Life | 114 hours |
Description | It is an epidermal growth factor receptor which binds to FAB region. Cetuximab consists of the variable antigen-binding regions of the 225 murine EGFr monoclonal antibody that is specific for N-terminal part of human EGFr with human IgG1 heavy chain and kappa light chain constant regions. |
Indication/Disease | Used to treat EGFR-expressing metastatic colorectal cancer in patients resistant to irinotecan based chemotherapy regimens. Also used to treat squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck in combination with radiation therapy. |
Pharmacodynamics | Cetuximab specifically binds to the epidermal growth factor receptors (EGFr, HER1, c-ErbB-1) on both normal and tumor cells(EGFr is over-expressed in many colorectal cancers). Cetuximab competitively inhibits the binding of epidermal growth factor (EGF) and other ligands, such as transforming growth factor–alpha. Binding of cetuximab to the EGFr blocks phosphorylation and activation of receptor-associated kinases, resulting in inhibition of cell growth, induction of apoptosis, decreased matrix metalloproteinase secretion and reduced vascular endothelial growth factor production. |
Mechanism of Action | Cetuximab binds to EGFr (over-expressed in many colorectal cancers) on both normal and tumor cells. Cetuximab competitively inhibits the binding of epidermal growth factor (EGF) and TGF alpha, thereby reducing their effects on cell growth and metastatic spread. |
Toxicity | Single doses of cetuximab more than 500 mg/m2 have'nt been tested. There is no report of overdosage in human clinical trials. |
