What Is Vincristine Sulfate?
Vincristine sulfate, a natural alkaloid from periwinkle, is a white to off-white crystalline powder first purified in 1961.
It is soluble in methanol but slightly soluble in ethanol and freely soluble in water with a solubility of 1g in 200ml
As an anti-cancer ingredient, vincristine sulfate is a dangerous chemical because it is poisonous.
If it can kill the cancer cells, it also harms healthy cells 100%.
Vincristine sulfate is just one of the 70 natural alkaloids in periwinkle.
Clinically, vincristine sulfate is mainly used for the treatment of cancers:
1. Acute leukemia, malignant lymphoma, nephroblastoma, Ewing sarcoma, childhood rhabdomyosarcoma, neuroblastoma, multiple myeloma, and choriocarcinoma.
2. Breast cancer, small cell lung cancer, cervical cancer, testicular tumors, ovarian cancer, gastrointestinal tract cancer, malignant melanoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and soft tissue sarcoma.
How Much Does Vincristine Sulfate API Cost?
Our EXW price is around 400 USD per gram for small trial orders.
We supply it in bulk, unlike reagent companies such as scbt or Sigma, so we will not post their prices to compare.
Their prices for 1g are outrageous; if you are interested, you can Google their website for price details.
If your research budget is insufficient, please get in touch with us for an offer.
If you can order in commercial quantities, the cost can be as low as 400 USD per gram, depending on the amount.
Please contact us directly for the updated prices before placing your order; it is very important to confirm with us first.
How To Ship and Store Vincristine Sulfate?
Shipping:
1. Dangerous chemical 6.1 type:
Please note that Vincristine sulfate is classified as a dangerous chemical of type 6.1.
LD50 values are as follows:
Intraperitoneal (rat): 1.9 mg/kg;
Intraperitoneal (mouse) is 3.0 mg/kg;
Intravenous (rat): 1.0mg/kg
Intravenous (mouse): 1.7mg/kg
To ship and import it formally, you must ask your supplier whether they can provide the required export packing.
Or you can ask your freight agent about repacking the UN carton.
Or if your agent can export it from Hong Kong.
Because vincristine sulfate is very sensitive to temperature change, even for a 2~3-day transport, you must add ice bags into insulated boxes, especially during transport in the summer.
Storage:
Low-temperature storage is required.
For short-term storage, 2-8 degrees Celsius is allowed during transport.
Storage temperature should not be over 30 Degrees Celsius.
Otherwise, it will degrade, reducing its purity (from 98% to 80% or less).
Store it below -20 degrees Celsius for long-term storage and protect it from moisture and sunlight.
The above will be all the knowledge we’d like to share with all of you.
