Vincristine

Catalog Number	ACM57227
CAS Number	57-22-7
Structure
Description	Vincristine (Leurocristine) is a microtubule-destabilizing agent (MDA). Vincristine binds to tubulin and inhibits the formation of microtubules, thereby inhibiting mitosis of the cancer cell. Vincristine is used to research hematologic cancers, such as leukemia and lymphoma, and childhood sarcomas.
