Vincristine Michael Doe CHEM 23202 Overview I. II. III. IV. V. Physical Properties Synthesis Characterization History and Uses How it works General Information2 CAS Number: 57-22-7 Molecular Formula: C46H56N4O10 Molecular Weight: 824.97 Melting Point: 218-220°C Clear liquid (taken by injection) Synthesis from a Natural Source Vincristine has two natural sources: Catharanthus roseus (Vinca rosea), the Madagascar periwinkle, and Tabernaemontana pachysiphon This yield from the Madagascar periwinkle is less than 1μg/g (.0003%)6 Synthesis from vinblastine H2CrO4 Ethyl Acetate 2 hours, -83- -25°C 80-90% yield5 • This is the easiest and most common method of synthesis, as well as one can give high yields Synthetic Production Discovered in 2004 First route to make synthetic vincristine6 Spectroscopy Mass Spectrum4: M+1=825 UV Spectrum1: 220, 255, 296 nm IR Spectrum6: 3445, 2924, 2852, 1740, 1681, 1597, 1498, 1458, 1369, 1230, 1033, 747 cm-1 History and Uses Discovered in 1953 by Robert L. Noble, and cleared by the FDA in 1963 as Oncovin, marketed by Eli Lilly and Co. Used to treat acute leukemias and all lymphomas Side effects include nervous system damage and constipation Work is being done to develop more effective derivatives with fewer side effects8 How it works Stops division of cells Enters cell during mitosis and blocks formation of microtubules of the mitotic spindle during metaphase3,7 Bibliography (1) Anonymous Vincristine.
