Ref. 3D-FV35264

Product Information

• Name: Vinflunine tartrate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Vinflunine tartrate is a chemotherapeutic agent, which is a semi-synthetic vinca alkaloid derivative sourced primarily from the plant Catharanthus roseus. This compound stands out due to its synthetic modifications that incorporate fluorine atoms, enhancing its pharmacokinetic properties compared to its parent compounds. The mode of action of vinflunine tartrate involves the inhibition of microtubule assembly by binding to tubulin, effectively disrupting the mitotic spindle formation in dividing cells. This results in the arrest of the cell cycle at the metaphase, ultimately leading to apoptotic cell death.
