CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Vinorelbine tartrate is a novel vinca alkaloid which interferes with
microtubule assembly. Vinca
alkaloids are structurally similar compounds comprising two
multiringed units, vindoline and
catharanthine. Vinorelbine tartrate is a vinca alkaloid in which the
catharanthine unit is the site of
structural modification. This structural change imparts unique
pharmacologic properties which
may translate into clinical benefits for patients with various
malignancies. The antitumor activity
of vinorelbine tartrate is thought to be due primarily to inhibition
of mitosis at metaphase through
its interaction with tubulin. Vinorelbine tartrate may also interfere
with amino acid, cyclic AMP
and
