Vincristine, also known as leurocristine and marketed under the brand name Oncovin among others, is a chemotherapy medication used to treat a number of types of cancer. [5] This includes acute lymphocytic leukemia , acute myeloid leukemia , Hodgkin's disease , neuroblastoma , and small cell lung cancer among others. [ 5 ]
Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease (CMT) is a hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy of the peripheral nervous system characterized by progressive loss of muscle tissue and touch sensation across various parts of the body.
These compounds include vinblastine, vincristine, vindesine, and vinorelbine. Additional researched vinca alkaloids include vincaminol, vineridine, and vinburnine. Vinpocetine is a semi-synthetic derivative of vincamine (sometimes described as "a synthetic ethyl ester of apovincamine"). [14]
Locked-in syndrome (LIS), also known as pseudocoma, is a condition in which a patient is aware but cannot move or communicate verbally due to complete paralysis of nearly all voluntary muscles in their body except for vertical eye movements and blinking. [3]
The dimerization of catharanthine and vindoline produces the anti-cancer drugs vinblastine and vincristine. [10] The natural concentrations of catharanthine and vindoline are much higher than the concentrations of vinblastine and vincristine, which suggests that the reaction between catharanthine and vindoline is a rate-limiting step in the two ...

Besides, bisindole alkaloids vinblastine and vincristine show antineoplastic effect. [45] Because of structural similarities with serotonin, many tryptamines can interact with serotonin 5-HT receptors. [46] The main effect of the serotonergic psychedelics such as LSD, DMT, and psilocybin is related to them being agonists of the 5-HT 2A receptors.
