Cancer:
This pretty plant from Madagascar gives us two very important cancer-fighting medicines: vinblastine and vincristine. Vincristine has helped increase the chance of surviving childhood leukaemia from 10% to 90%, while vinblastine is used to treat Hodg kins' Disease.
Biochemists have identified two long-sought enzymes that help a tropical plant to produce a potent cancer treatment. The Madagascar periwinkle (Catharanthus roseus) makes the anti-cancer compound vinblastine, but only in small amounts.
Traditional doses have included 10 leaves and 10 flowers boiled in water as a tea, or 9 pink flowers in 0.5 L of water for 3 hours ("solar tea") sipped throughout the day. Preparations of the pure alkaloids vincristine and vinblastine are available, with associated therapeutic dosing recommendations.
Vincristine and vinblastine derived from periwinkle are recognized pharmacological agents in chemotherapy and are used to treat Hodgkin disease, lymphocytic leukemia, and other cancers.
