vindesine/ニチニチソウ

BACKGROUND Catharanthus roseus is a well-known dicotyledonous medicinal plant containing diverse classes of bioactive terpene indole alkaloids (TIAs), in particular the anticancer agents vinblastine and vincristine. In view of the commercial importance of these compounds there is an urgent need to

A rapid, sensitive and reproducible method using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray ionization hybrid triple quadrupole-linear ion trap mass spectrometry (UHPLC-ESI-QqQLIT-MS/MS) in multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode was developed and validated for

We report six cases in which patients presented with acute dyspnoea following injections of either vindesine or vinorelbin. These patients were receiving chemotherapy in association with cisplatin, mitomycin, and vindesine or vinorelbin, for inoperable bronchial cancer. Three of the patients had

The Vinca alkaloids are a class of pharmaceutically relevant binary indole-indoline alkaloids based on and including natural extracts of the periwinkle plant, Catharanthus rosea. Two natural products, vinblastine and vincristine, have been in clinical use as important chemotherapy agents for over

Vinca alkaloids, which belong to a class of cell cycle phase M specific anti-tubulin agents, are one of the first plant alkaloids to be developed for use as anti-cancer agents in humans. This class of drugs derived from Vinca rosea (Catharanthus roseus) consists of first-generation

Vinblastine and vincristine are dimeric indole alkaloids derived from Catharanthus roseus (formerly: Vinca rosea). Their monomeric precursor molecules are vindoline and catharanthine. While vinblastine and vincristine are well-known mitotic spindle poisons, not much is known about vindoline and

Vinca alkaloids are a subset of drugs obtained from the Madagascar periwinkle plant. They are naturally extracted from the pink periwinkle plant, Catharanthus roseus G. Don and have a hypoglycemic as well as cytotoxic effects. They have been used to treat diabetes, high blood pressure and have been
