This book studies the production of indole alkaloids in the important medicinal plant
Catharanthus roseus (L.) G. Don, commonly known as periwinkle. The anticancer alkaloids,
viz. vinblastine and vincristine, are mainly present in the leaves of C. roseus and
inhibit the growth of cancer cells by hindering the formation of mitotic apparatus
during cell division. Further, vinblastine helps increase the chance of surviving
childhood leukemia while vincristine is used to treat Hodgkin's disease. Great efforts
have been made to produce these alkaloids at a large scale by the culture of plant
cells. In view of this worldwide demand for commercial use, this book explores how
to maximize the production of anticancer alkaloids from C. roseus. This reference
book will be helpful for research students, teachers, ethnobotanists, pharmacologists
and herbal growers who have a strong interest in this anticancer medicinal plant of
paramount importance
