Bevacizumab binds to VEGF, the key driver of vasculogenesis and angiogenesis, and thereby inhibits the binding of VEGF to its receptors, Flt-1 (VEGFR-1) and KDR (VEGFR-2), on the surface of endothelial cells.
Neutralising the biological activity of VEGF reduces the vascularisation of tumours, normalises remaining tumour vasculature and inhibits the formation of new tumour vasculature thereby inhibiting tumour growth.
