Immunofluorescence study of the action of navelbine, vincristine and vinblastine on mitotic and axonal microtubules

Abstract excerpt

Among the various non-naturally-occurring Vinca alkaloid compounds, nor-anhydro-vinblastine (Navelbine, NVB) exhibits in preliminary clinical studies broader anti-tumor activity and lower neurotoxicity than vinblastine (VBL) and vincristine (VCR). The action of these 3 Vinca alkaloids on axonal and mitotic microtubules has been studied experimentally in a specific model, the tectal plate anlage of mouse embryos...
