Catharanthine is a terpene indole alkaloid produced by the medicinal plant Catharanthus roseus. Catharanthine is derived from strictosidine, but the exact mechanism by which this happens is currently unknown. Catharanthine is one of the two precursors that form vinblastine, the other being vindoline.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide

Intravenous administration of catharanthine (0.5–20 mg/kg) to anesthetized rats induced rapid, dose-dependent decreases in blood pressure, heart rate, left ventricular blood pressure, cardiac contractility, and the slope of the end-systolic pressure-volume relationship curve.

Route of Administration: Intravenous

In Vitro Use Guide

Catharanthine evoked concentrationdependent decreases in endothelium-independent tonic responses of aortic rings to phenylephrine (PE) and KCl (IC50 = 5 28 uM for PE and IC50 =5 34 mM for KCl) and of thirdorder branches of the small mesenteric artery (IC50 = 3 mM for PE and IC50 = 6 mM for KCl)
