Hodoodo CAT#: H100920

CAS#: 2068-78-2 (sulfate)

Description: Vincristine sulfate is the sulfate salt of a natural alkaloid isolated from the periwinkle plant of the oleander family with antimitotic and antineoplastic activities. Vincristine binds irreversibly to microtubules and spindle proteins in S phase of the cell cycle and interferes with the formation of the mitotic spindle, thereby arresting tumor cells in metaphase. This agent also depolymerizes microtubules and may also interfere with amino acid, cyclic AMP, and glutathione metabolism; calmodulin-dependent Ca++ -transport ATPase activity; cellular respiration; and nucleic acid and lipid biosynthesis.

More Info:

Biological target: Vincristine sulfate is an antitumor vinca alkaloid which inhibits microtubule formation in mitotic spindle and binds to microtubules with a Ki of 85 nM.
In vitro activity: The microtubule-depolymerizing agent vincristine is widely used in the treatment of acute leukemia. In order to decrease toxicity and chemoresistance of vincristine, the effects of combination vincristine and vorinostat (suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA)), a pan-histone deacetylase inhibitor, on human acute T cell lymphoblastic leukemia cells were investigated. Cell viability showed that the combination of vincristine and SAHA exhibited greater cytotoxicity with an IC50 value of 0.88 nM, compared to each drug alone, 3.3 and 840 nM. This combination synergically induced G2/M arrest, followed by an increase in cell number at the sub-G1 phase and caspase activation. These findings indicate that the combination of vincristine and SAHA on T cell leukemic cells resulted in a change in microtubule dynamics contributing to M phase arrest followed by induction of the apoptotic pathway.

In vivo activity: Whisker hair follicles are tactile organs in non-primate mammals which are functionally equivalent to human fingertips. Mouse whisker hair follicles were used as a model system and the pressure-clamped single-fiber recording technique was applied in order to explore how vincristine treatment affect mechanoreceptors in whisker hair follicles. In vivo treatment of mice with vincristine impaired whisker tactile behavioral responses. The pressure-clamped single-fiber recordings made from whisker hair follicle afferent nerves showed that mechanical stimulations evoked three types of mechanical responses, rapidly adapting response (RA), slowly adapting type 1 response (SA1) and slowly adapting type 2 response (SA2). Vincristine treatment significantly reduced SA1 responses but did not significantly affect RA and SA2 responses. These findings suggest that SA1 mechanoreceptors were selectively impaired by vincristine leading to the impairment of in vivo whisker tactile behavioral responses.
