Description

Vincristine sulfate is an antitumor vinca alkaloid which inhibits microtubule formation in mitotic spindle, resulting in an arrest of dividing cells at the metaphase stage. It binds to microtubule with a Ki of 85 nM.


Vincristine sulfate appears as an anticancer drug. White to slightly yellow, amorphous or crystalline powder. Sensitive to light. Odorless. pH (0.1% solution) 3.5 - 4.5. (NTP, 1992)

Each notification may be associated with multiple companies.

Fires involving this material can be controlled with a dry chemical, carbon dioxide or Halon extinguisher. A water spray may also be used. (NTP, 1992)

Excerpt from ERG Guide 151 [Substances - Toxic (Non-combustible)]: As an immediate precautionary measure, isolate spill or leak area in all directions for at least 50 meters (150 feet) for liquids and at least 25 meters (75 feet) for solids. SPILL: Increase, in the downwind direction, as necessary, the isolation distance shown above. FIRE: If tank, rail car or tank truck is involved in a fire, ISOLATE for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions; also, consider initial evacuation for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions. (ERG, 2016)

SMALL SPILLS AND LEAKAGE: If you spill this chemical, you should dampen the solid spill material with water, then transfer the dampened material to a suitable container. Use absorbent paper dampened with water to pick up any remaining material. Seal your contaminated clothing and the absorbent paper in a vapor-tight plastic bag for eventual disposal. Wash all contaminated surfaces with a soap and water solution. Do not reenter the contaminated area until the Safety Officer (or other responsible person) has verified that the area has been properly cleaned. STORAGE PRECAUTIONS: You should protect this chemical from exposure to light. Keep the container tightly closed under an inert atmosphere, and store under refrigerated temperatures. (NTP, 1992)

RECOMMENDED RESPIRATOR: Where the neat test chemical is weighed and diluted, wear a NIOSH-approved half face respirator equipped with an organic vapor/acid gas cartridge (specific for organic vapors, HCl, acid gas and SO2) with a dust/mist filter. (NTP, 1992)

Agents obtained from higher plants that have demonstrable cytostatic or antineoplastic activity. (See all compounds classified as Antineoplastic Agents, Phytogenic.)|Agents that interact with TUBULIN to inhibit or promote polymerization of MICROTUBULES. (See all compounds classified as Tubulin Modulators.)

SYMPTOMS: The following symptoms of exposure have occurred during intravenous use. Symptoms of exposure include bone marrow depression, peripheral neuropathy, colicky abdominal pain, constipation and alopecia. Other symptoms include neuromuscular and neurological disturbances, gastrointestinal upset and leucopenia. It has caused impaired walking, convulsions, hypertension, inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (ADH) secretion, jaw pain, paresthesias in the fingers and toes, sensory impairment, headache, loss of deep tendon reflexes, parotid gland pain, optic atrophy and blindness. It has also caused acute uric acid nephropathy, myocardial infarction, ocular toxicity (ptosis, other ocular muscle paresis, and 5th and 7th nerve involvement); laryngeal nerve paralysis causing hoarseness or cough, depression of the Achilles tendon reflex, muscle pain, weakness, motor weakness, quadriparesis, numbness and tingling of the fingers and toes, malaise, depression, psychoses, neuromyopathy, peripheral neuritis, adynamic ileus, and permanent central nervous system damage. Exposure may cause paresthesia, foot drop, ataxia, athetosis, thrombocytosis and coma. Exposure may also cause granulocytopenia, thrombocytopenia, hypoplasia of all elements of bone marrow, nausea, vomiting, anorexia, neuritic pain and motor difficulties. Other effects may include cranial nerve neuropathy including optic nerve neuropathy and injury to the retina; cataracts, facial paralysis, diplopia and corneal hypesthesia. It may cause anemia, polyuria, dysuria, fever, tingling and numbness of the extremities, abdominal obstruction, ischemic cardiac toxicity and syndrome of hyponatremia. It may also cause diarrhea, sensory loss, slapping gait, muscle wasting, generalized sensorimotor dysfunction, paralytic ileus, abdominal cramps, rash, oral ulceration, intestinal necrosis and/or perforation, urinary retention due to bladder atony cranial nerve manifestations including isolated paresis and/or paralysis of muscles controlled by cranial motor nerves; pharyngeal pain, bone pain, back pain, limb pain, myalgias, renal or adrenal disease, hypotension, dehydration, azotemia and clinical edema. Effects on the autonomic nervous system have been reported. It may cause irritation of the skin, and congenital malformation in the fetus. ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: This compound is highly toxic and may be fatal if inhaled, swallowed or absorbed through the skin. It may cause irritation of the skin. When heated to decomposition it emits very toxic fumes of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides. (NTP, 1992)

EYES: First check the victim for contact lenses and remove if present. Flush victim's eyes with water or normal saline solution for 20 to 30 minutes while simultaneously calling a hospital or poison control center. Do not put any ointments, oils, or medication in the victim's eyes without specific instructions from a physician. IMMEDIATELY transport the victim after flushing eyes to a hospital even if no symptoms (such as redness or irritation) develop. SKIN: IMMEDIATELY flood affected skin with water while removing and isolating all contaminated clothing. Gently wash all affected skin areas thoroughly with soap and water. If symptoms such as redness or irritation develop, IMMEDIATELY call a physician and be prepared to transport the victim to a hospital for treatment. INHALATION: IMMEDIATELY leave the contaminated area; take deep breaths of fresh air. IMMEDIATELY call a physician and be prepared to transport the victim to a hospital even if no symptoms (such as wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, or burning in the mouth, throat, or chest) develop. Provide proper respiratory protection to rescuers entering an unknown atmosphere. Whenever possible, Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) should be used; if not available, use a level of protection greater than or equal to that advised under Protective Clothing. INGESTION: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Strychnine is an exceptionally toxic poison but inducing vomiting may cause a seizure. IMMEDIATELY call a hospital or poison control center and locate activated charcoal, egg whites, or milk in case the medical advisor recommends administering one of them. If advice from a physician is not readily available and the victim is conscious and not convulsing, give the victim a glass of activated charcoal slurry in water or, if this is not available, a glass of milk, or beaten egg whites and IMMEDIATELY transport victim to a hospital. If the victim is convulsing or unconscious, do not give anything by mouth, assure that the victim's airway is open and lay the victim on his/her side with the head lower than the body. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. IMMEDIATELY transport the victim to a hospital. (NTP, 1992)
