VINBLASTINE SULFATE is a synthetic derivative of the vinca alkaloid vinblastine, which is derived from the periwinkle plant (Catharanthus roseus). It works by binding to microtubules in the cell, preventing them from forming and thereby inhibiting cell division. This leads to the death of rapidly dividing cancer cells.
