Vincristine

Identification

Summary

Vincristine is a vinca alkaloid used to treat acute leukemia, malignant lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease, acute erythraemia, and acute panmyelosis.

Brand Names
Marqibo, Vincasar
Generic Name
Vincristine
DrugBank Accession Number
DB00541
Background

Vincristine is an antitumor vinca alkaloid isolated from Vinca Rosea. It is marketed under several brand names, many of which have different formulations such as Marqibo (liposomal injection) and Vincasar. Vincristine is indicated for the treatment of acute leukaemia, malignant lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease, acute erythraemia, and acute panmyelosis. vincristine sulfate is often chosen as part of polychemotherapy because of lack of significant bone–marrow suppression (at recommended doses) and of unique clinical toxicity (neuropathy).

Pharmacodynamics

Vincristine is a vinca alkaloid antineoplastic agent used as a treatment for various cancers including breast cancer, Hodgkin's disease, Kaposi's sarcoma, and testicular cancer. The vinca alkaloids are structurally similar compounds comprised of 2 multiringed units, vindoline and catharanthine. The vinca alkaloids have become clinically useful since the discovery of their antitumour properties in 1959. Initially, extracts of the periwinkle plant (Catharanthus roseus) were investigated because of putative hypoglycemic properties, but were noted to cause marrow suppression in rats and antileukemic effects in vitro. Vincristine binds to the microtubular proteins of the mitotic spindle, leading to crystallization of the microtubule and mitotic arrest or cell death. Vincristine has some immunosuppressant effect. The vinca alkaloids are considered to be cell cycle phase-specific.

Mechanism of action

The antitumor activity of Vincristine is thought to be due primarily to inhibition of mitosis at metaphase through its interaction with tubulin. Like other vinca alkaloids, Vincristine may also interfere with: 1) amino acid, cyclic AMP, and glutathione metabolism, 2) calmodulin-dependent Ca2+-transport ATPase activity, 3) cellular respiration, and 4) nucleic acid and lipid biosynthesis.

Absorption

Not Available

Volume of distribution

Within 15 to 30 minutes after injection, over 90% of the drug is distributed from the blood into tissue, where it remains tightly, but not irreversibly, bound.

Protein binding

~75%

Metabolism

Hepatic. Cytochrome P450 isoenzymes of the CYP3A subfamily facilitate the metabolism of vincristine.

Route of elimination

The liver is the major excretory organ in humans and animals. 80% of an injected dose of vincristine sulfate is excreted via feces. 10 - 20% is excreted via urine.

Half-life

When intravenously injected into cancer patients, a triphasic serum decay patten was observed. The initial, middle, and terminal half-lives are 5 minutes, 2.3 hours, 85 hours respectively. The range of the terminal half-life is humans is 19 - 155 hours.

Toxicity

IVN-RAT LD50 1300 mg/kg; IPR-MUS LD50 5.2 mg/kg. Marqibo® must only be administered IV because it is fatal if administered by other routes. Marqibo® also has different dosing than vincristine sulphate injection, so attention is needed to prevent overdoses. The most clinically significant adverse effect of vincristine is neurotoxicity.

Interactions

Drug Interactions
This information should not be interpreted without the help of a healthcare provider. If you believe you are experiencing an interaction, contact a healthcare provider immediately. The absence of an interaction does not necessarily mean no interactions exist.
DrugInteraction
AbametapirThe serum concentration of Vincristine can be increased when it is combined with Abametapir.
AbataceptThe metabolism of Vincristine can be increased when combined with Abatacept.
AbemaciclibAbemaciclib may decrease the excretion rate of Vincristine which could result in a higher serum level.
AbrocitinibThe serum concentration of Vincristine can be increased when it is combined with Abrocitinib.
AcalabrutinibThe metabolism of Vincristine can be decreased when combined with Acalabrutinib.
Food Interactions
  • Exercise caution with grapefruit products. Grapefruit inhibits CYP3A4 metabolism, which may increase the serum concentration of vincristine.
  • Exercise caution with St. John's Wort. This herb induces CYP3A4 metabolism, which may reduce serum levels of vincristine.
