NCIt definition : A synthetic derivative of vinblastine, a naturally occurring vinca alkaloid. Vindesine
binds to and stabilizes tubulin, thereby interrupting tubulin polymerization and preventing
the formation of the mitotic spindle and cell division; treated cells are unable to
undergo mitosis and are arrested in metaphase. This agent also disrupts macromolecular
synthesis. (NCI04);
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: An anticancer drug that belongs to the family of plant drugs called vinca
alkaloids.;
