:Catharanthine sulfate
Description:
Catharanthine sulfate is a chemical compound derived from the plant Catharanthus roseus, commonly known as the Madagascar periwinkle. It is primarily recognized for its role as an alkaloid and is part of a larger group of compounds that exhibit significant pharmacological properties. The compound is characterized by its sulfate ester functional group, which contributes to its solubility and biological activity. Catharanthine sulfate is often studied for its potential therapeutic applications, particularly in cancer treatment, as it is related to other important alkaloids like vincristine and vinblastine, which are used in chemotherapy. The compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is soluble in water and organic solvents. Its molecular structure includes a complex arrangement of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and sulfur atoms, which is crucial for its interaction with biological systems. As with many alkaloids, it may exhibit various biological activities, including cytotoxicity against certain cancer cell lines, making it a subject of interest in medicinal chemistry and pharmacology.

CAS:<p>Catharanthine sulfate is an indole alkaloid, which originates from the plant Catharanthus roseus, commonly known as the Madagascar periwinkle. This plant source is crucial for the biosynthesis of several significant alkaloids. Catharanthine sulfate functions by interfering with the polymerization of tubulin into microtubules, thus disrupting the mitotic spindle formation during cell division. This mechanism is critically involved in the inhibition of rapidly proliferating cells, such as cancer cells.</p>Formula:C21H26N2O6SPurity:Min. 95%Molecular weight:434.51 g/mol
