380610-27-5 Usage
Description
Pertuzumab is an anti-human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) antibody that was approved by the US FDA in June 2012 for use in combination with trastuzumab (Herceptin?) and docetaxel chemotherapy for the treatment of people with HER2-positive (HER2+) metastatic breast cancer (mBC) who have not received prior anti-HER2 therapy or chemotherapy for metastatic disease. Pertuzumab inhibits HER2 dimer formation with other HER members, such as HER1 and HER3, thus inhibiting the downstream signaling processes associated with tumor growth and progression. Pertuzumab is the first HER2 dimerization inhibitor to reach the market. The mechanism of actions of trastuzumab and pertuzumab are believed to complement each other and provide a more comprehensive inhibition of tumor growth than either agent alone. Preclinical data showed that the combination of trastuzumab and pertuzumab has a strongly enhanced antitumor effect and induces tumor regression in xenograft models, something that cannot be achieved by either monotherapy alone.

Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 380610-27-5 includes 9 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 6 digits, 3,8,0,6,1 and 0 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 2 and 7 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 380610-27:
(8*3)+(7*8)+(6*0)+(5*6)+(4*1)+(3*0)+(2*2)+(1*7)=125
125 % 10 = 5
So 380610-27-5 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
