Description: Cetuximab (C225; C 225; C-225)is a potent and specific chimeric monoclonal antibody that inhibits epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) with a Kd of 0.201 nM for soluble EGFR by SPR. Cetuximab has potent antitumor activity and is used for the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer, metastatic non-small cell lung cancer and head and neck cancer. Cetuximab is a chimeric (mouse/human) monoclonal antibody given by intravenous infusion that is distributed under the trade name Erbitux in the U.S. and Canada by the drug company Eli Lilly and Co. and outside those countries by the drug company Merck KGaA. In Japan, Merck KGaA, Bristol-Myers Squibb and Eli Lilly have a co-distribution.

In vitro
Cetuximab (C225) is a monoclonal antibody that inhibits epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), with a Kd of 0.201 nM for soluble EGFR by SPR. Cetuximab also exhibits a Kd of 0.147 nM for EGFR in fixed A431 cells by ELISA. Cetuximab (C225; 30 nM) time-dependently inhibits the proliferation of SCC-1, SCC-11B, SCC-38, and SCC-13Y cells after treatment for 8 d. Cetuximab (30 nM) causes G0/G1 arrest, induces apoptosis, and reduces Rb, p27KIP1, Bcl-2, and Bax expression in SCC-13Y cells. Cetuximab (30 nM) also enhances radiosensitivity and increases radiation-induced apoptosis in SCC-13Y cells.
In Vivo
Cetuximab (1?mg/injection) has effect on the tumour volume but the effect is more pronounced on UT-SCC-14 xenografts. In UT-SCC-14 xenografts, Cetuximab treatment significantly reduces the expression of EGFR, pEGFR and Ki67. The MCT1 and GLUT1 expression is significantly decreased in the Cetuximab-treated groups of both cell lines but differences are more pronounced in UT-SCC-14 xenografts.
