The anti-angiogenic drug Avastin works by binding to and inhibiting the activity of
A. VEGF.
B. IL-2
C. estrogen.
D. EGF.
E. Ras
Homework Answers
It's answer is A
Avastin is an anti-cancer drug and is a type of monoclonal antibodies. It targets VEGF ( vascular endothelial growth factor)
VEGF is the surface protein which helps the cancer cells to form blood vessels, and by blocking it's activity , avastin prevents cancer to develop its own blood supply.
Hope it helps you. :)

Ibuprofen, a well-known non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug,
has chirality. Only the S enantiomer has anti-inflammatory activity
(although the R enantiomer is converted slowly by the body into the
S enantiomer). Add wedge-and-dash bonds to complete the perspective
structures of the two stereoisomers of ibuprofen.

Question 45 2 Points You are seeking a new anti-inflammatory drug to inhibit local responses to stress and injury. Which of the following activities would you look for in a potential anti-inflammatory agent? It should be an agonist of a pro-inflammatory cytokine. It should facilitate the production of second messengers in response to a pro-inflammatory cytokine. It should function as a constitutively active receptor for pro-inflammatory cytokines. It should compete with the pro-inflammatory cytokine for the binding to its receptor....
