Vicderived is a term used to describe substances or compounds that are produced or synthesized from vinca alkaloids. Vinca alkaloids are a group of naturally occurring indole alkaloids that are extracted from the Madagascar periwinkle plant, Catharanthus roseus. These compounds have a complex chemical structure and are known for their potent pharmacological properties, particularly their antitumor activity.
The process of vicderived synthesis involves taking the parent vinca alkaloids, such as vinblastine or vincristine,
Examples of vicderived compounds include vinorelbine and vindesine. Vinorelbine, for instance, is a semisynthetic derivative of
