Vincadifforminate d'ethyle, also known as ethyl vincadifforminate, is a synthetic chemical compound derived from the vinca alkaloids, a group of indole alkaloids found in the Madagascar periwinkle plant (Catharanthus roseus). It is primarily used as an anti-cancer agent, functioning as a vinca alkaloid derivative that inhibits microtubule formation, thereby disrupting cell division and ultimately leading to cell death. Ethyl vincadifforminate is particularly effective against various types of cancer, including leukemia, lymphoma, and breast cancer. Its mechanism of action is similar to other vinca alkaloids, such as vincristine and vinblastine, but it may exhibit different pharmacokinetic properties and side effect profiles. As with other chemotherapeutic agents, ethyl vincadifforminate can cause side effects, including neurotoxicity, myelosuppression, and gastrointestinal disturbances.
The CAS Registry Mumber 73789-07-8 includes 8 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 5 digits, 7,3,7,8 and 9 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 0 and 7 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 73789-07: (7*7)+(6*3)+(5*7)+(4*8)+(3*9)+(2*0)+(1*7)=168 168 % 10 = 8 So 73789-07-8 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
