VINCALEUCOBLASTINE

A dimeric alkaloid obtained from Vinca rosea. It arrests mitosis in metaphase (although vincristine is more active in this respect) and exhibits greater antimetabolic activity than does vincristine; used in the treatment of Hodgkin's malady, choriocarcinoma, acute and chronic leukaemias, and another neoplastic illness; blocks microtubule assembly. Synonym: vincaleucoblastine.
