Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Vinorelbine is a semisynthetic vinca alkaloid derived from the leaves of the periwinkle plant (Vinca rosea) with antineoplastic activity. Vinorelbine binds to tubulin, thereby inhibiting tubulin polymerization into microtubules and spindle formation and resulting in apoptosis of susceptible cancer cells. Inhibition of mitotic microtubules correlates with antitumor activity, whereas inhibition of axonal microtubules seems to correlate with vinorelbine's neurotoxicity. Compared to related vinca alkaloids, vinorelbine is more selective against mitotic than axonal microtubules in vitro, which may account for its decreased neurotoxicity. This agent is also a radiation-sensitizing agent.

Biological target:
Vinorelbine (ditartrate) inhibits the proliferation of Hela cells with IC50 of 1.25 nM.
In vitro activity:
To determine the mechanism of protection from the pro-apoptotic action of metronomic vinorelbine the balance of the anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 and pro-apoptotic protein Bax (Fig. 6A) was investigated. Bcl-2 and Bax are players of the intrinsic mitochondrial apoptotic pathway and a low Bcl-2/Bax ratio leads to apoptotic cell death through mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization (MOMP). Moreover, Bcl-2 downregulation has previously been implicated in the cell death caused by vinorelbine. Ten nanomolar vinorelbine downregulated the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 in normoxia by 32% (P<0.01) at 24 h. Severe hypoxia also decreased Bcl-2 protein by 46% (P<0.001) but 10 nM vinorelbine did not further reduce Bcl-2 under these conditions (Fig. 6B). Similar changes were seen in the Bcl-2/Bax ratio (Fig. 6C). In particular, 10 nM vinorelbine decreased the Bcl-2/Bax ratio by 30% (P<0.05) in normoxia at 24 h, which is consistent with induction of apoptosis. Severe hypoxia decreased the Bcl-2/Bax ratio by 42% (P<0.01) while 10 nM vinorelbine did not have an additional effect.

In vivo activity:
This study used a model previously described where JEG3 cells are xenografted subcutaneously into immune deficient (SCID) female mice and placental tumors allowed to form. Mice were then treated intravenously (via tail vein) with 1.25, 2.5 or 5 mg/kg vinorelbine, or vehicle control on days 6, 9 and 12 after xenograft inoculation. Compared to vehicle controls, vinorelbine at all doses significantly reduced xenograft volume 4 days after treatment (10 days after JEG3 inoculation) and each measured time point thereafter (12 and 14 days after inoculation) (Fig. 2A, B). Furthermore, vinorelbine treatment caused a significant, dose dependent reduction in xenograft tumor weight (harvested at the time of euthanasia) (Fig. 2C). There was a concordant dose dependent reduction in serum hCG from blood taken at the time of euthanasia. Significantly, at the top dose of vinorelbine (5 mg/kg) 6 out of 8 mice had a resolution of the tumor to the extent that no tumor could be found (Fig. 2C). Of these 6 mice, 5 had serum hCG levels below the detectable range of the assay (Fig. 2D). This suggests the possible complete absence of placental xenograft tumors in 5 mice.
