Nimotuzumab binds to the extracellular domain of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR, HER1, c-ErB1) and inhibits the binding of epidermal growth factor (EGF) and other ligands such as transforming growth factor alfa. Binding of nimotuzumab to the EGFR blocks phosphorylation and activation of receptor-associated kinases, resulting in inhibition of cell growth, induction of apoptosis, and decreased vascular endothelial growth factor production. |
