General information
Class/mechanism: Vinca alkaloid which causes cell cycle arrest in metaphase and inhibits mitosis. Vincristine stabilizes the spindle apparatus by binding to tubulin, alters microtubule structure and function, and inhibits chromosome separation. Marqibo is a formulation of vincristine sulfate that is encapsulated in sphingomyelin/cholesterol liposomes (Optisomes), which are hypothesized to provide improved tissue drug penetration and reduced toxicity.[1][2][3][4][5]
Route: IV
Extravasation: irritant/vesicant (depending on reference)
For conciseness and simplicity, HemOnc.org currently will focus on treatment regimens and not list information such as: renal/hepatic dose adjustments, metabolism (including CYP450), excretion, monitoring parameters (although this will be considered for checklists), or manufacturer. Instead, for the most current information, please refer to your preferred pharmacopeias such as Micromedex, Lexicomp, UpToDate (courtesy of Lexicomp), or the prescribing information.[1]
