Abstract
Vinblastine and vincristine (Fig. 1) are naturally occurring vinca alkaloids present in the Madagascar Periwinkle plant. Vindesine is a semi-synthetic vinca alkaloid, derived from vinblastine. The vinca alkaloids are active against various types of cancer, e.g. Hodgkin’s disease, lymphomas and testicular carcinoma [1].
