Aflibercept
Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Aflibercept (VEGF Trap) is a soluble decoy VEGFR constructed by fusing the Ig domains of VEGFR1 and VEGFR2 with the Fc region of human IgG1. Aflibercept inhibits VEGF signaling by reducing VEGF-regulated processes. Aflibercept can be used for thr research of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and cardiovascular disease.

Biological Activity
Human
Aflibercept (500 μg/mL; 24 h and 7 d) shows no toxicity on RPE cells, neither in MTT-assay nor in trypan blue exclusion assay[1]. Aflibercept (500 μg/mL; 24 h) shows a statistically significant effect on wound healing compared with control in the confluent RPE cell layer with three wounds[1]. Aflibercept (500 μg/mL; 7 d) displays a significantly diminished phagocytosis of opsonised latex beads compared to untreated control[1]. Aflibercept (1 and 10 μg/mL; 10 h) inhibits VEGF signaling by reducing VEGF-regulated processes, such as permeability and angiogenesis[2].

Result:Rapidly and dose-dependently elevated BP in mice and markedly impaired endothelial-dependent relaxation (EDR) and resulted in NADPH oxidases 1 (NOX1)- and NADPH oxidases 4 (NOX4)-mediated generation of ROS, decreased the activation of protein kinase B (Akt) and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) concurrently with a reduction in nitric oxide (NO) production and elevation of ET-1 levels in mouse aortas.
