Mode of Action

Vinblastine is M phase specific. It binds to microtubular proteins and arrests mitosis at the metaphase by disrupting mitotic spindle formation. It blocks glutamic acid utilization, thus inhibiting purine synthesis, the citric acid cycle, and the formation of urea. It may also interfere with nucleic acid and protein synthesis.

Interaction

Possible increase in vinblastine levels with aprepitant. Reduced vinblastine metabolism with miconazole. Variable interactions with phenytoin, monitor serum phenytoin levels. Reduced immune response with vaccines. Additive myelotoxicity with zidovudine. Concurrent admin of vinblastine with CYP3A inhibitors may cause an earlier onset and/or an increased severity of side effects. Potentially Fatal: Increased toxicity of vinblastine with erythromycin. Increased neurotoxicity and myelotoxicity with azole antifungals e.g. itraconazole and posaconazole. Increased risk of severe neutropenia with ritonavir. Increased risk of acute pulmonary toxicity with mitomycin. Increased toxicity when ganciclovir is given with, immediately before or after vinblastine.
