  • Patent number: 6011041
    Abstract: The present invention is particularly directed to the use of a derivative of vinblastine, 3',4'-anhydrovinblastine (AHVB), which differs from vinblastine in that it possesses a double bond at the 3',4' position of the caranthine nucleus rather than the hydroxyl group that is present in the parent structure, as an antineoplastic agent in the therapeutic treatment of cancer. Specifically, the treatment of lymphoma with 3',4'-anhydrovinblastine is disclosed.

  • Patent number: RE37449
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the synthesis of dimer alkaloid compounds, particularly those of the Catharantus (Vinca) family, from an indole unit, such as cantharanthine, and a dihydroindole unit, such as vindoline. A multi-step process is disclosed including the steps of (1) of 1,4-reduction of a first dimeric iminium intermediate to an enamine compound by reaction with a 1,4-dihydropyridine compound; (2) oxidative transformation of the resulting enamine to a second iminium intermediate under controlled aeration; (3) reduction of the second iminium intermediate to form the target dimer alkaloid compounds. The entire process can be conducted in a one-pot operation to obtain the target compounds without isolation of the intermediates.
