Species Name : Catharanthus roseus

Compound – Vinblastine, Vincristine, Vindesine, Vinorelbine

Vinblastine, being an anti-cancer drug extracted from the periwinkle plant has shown to be effective in slowing down the effect of tumors.

This is due that the compound has been studied to have an inhibiting property that slows down microtubule formation in cancer cells.

This then disrupts the assembling of mitotic spindles in tumor cells which halt the
development of the cancer.
