Bevacizumab | Avastin | VEGF Antibody 11 VEGFR Inhibitor (Pan) 32 | Avastin (bevacizumab) is a monoclonal antibody that binds VEGF and inhibits binding to VEGFR, potentially resulting in decreased tumor growth (PMID: 15136787). Avastin (bevacizumab) is FDA approved for use in colorectal cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, glioblastoma, renal cell carcinoma, cervical carcinoma, and ovarian cancer, and in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel in epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer (FDA.gov). | |
Paclitaxel | Taxol | 7-Epipaclitaxel | Antimicrotubule Agent 12 BCL2 Family Inhibitor 6 | Taxol (paclitaxel) binds to tubulin to inhibit microtubule disassembly, which results in decreased cell division, and also binds to the anti-apoptotic factor Bcl-2, promoting apoptosis (NCI Drug Dictionary). |
Topotecan | Hycamtin | Topotecan Hcl | Topotecan binds to topoisomerase I and stablizes complexes with DNA, resulting in decreased repair of DNA single-strand breaks, and potentially leading to cell death (NCI Drug Dictionary). |
