About Desacetylvinblastine (C45H54N4O8)

Desacetylvinblastine (C45H54N4O8) is a highly purified pharmaceutical-grade vinca alkaloid compound primarily utilized in cancer research and anti-cancer drug production. Derived from the Madagascar periwinkle (Catharanthus roseus), this white to off-white crystalline solid is slightly soluble in water but dissolves well in organic solvents such as chloroform and ethanol. With a neutral pH of 7, it serves as a critical intermediate for synthesizing chemotherapy drugs like vinblastine. Known for its antineoplastic properties, Desacetylvinblastine has a complex alkaloid structure and a molecular weight of 794.94 g/mol, making it suitable for high-precision pharmaceutical applications. It has a shelf life of two years when stored in a cool, dry place away from heat and light. Due to the compounds poisonous nature, proper handling and adherence to safety guidelines are essential. The material decomposes at a melting point of 250C.
