Pharmacology
KRAS G12C inhibitor; sotorasib forms an irreversible, covalent bond with the unique cysteine of KRAS G12C, locking the protein in an inactive state that prevents downstream signaling without affecting wild-type KRAS, thereby blocking tumor cell growth and promoting apoptosis in KRAS G12C tumor cell lines.
Ziv-aflibercept is a recombinant fusion protein that acts as a soluble decoy receptor binding VEGF-A, VEGF-B, and PlGF, thereby inhibiting their cognate receptor activation and resulting in decreased neovascularization and vascular permeability.
