Importance of producing economic compounds to combat cancer
View through CrossRef
Summary
The manuscript published by Microb Biotechnol, volume 10, highlights the relevance of the fungus
Nigrospora sphaerica
, an endophyte isolated from
Catharanthus roseus
, as an alternative source to obtain vinblastine, a compound used in chemotherapy schemes to treat several types of cancer. Authors showed that purification of vinblastine from extracts of the fungus has higher activity and yield in comparison with that obtained from the plant
Catharanthus roseus
. This work represents a biotechnological approach to obtain vinblastine with promising results to decrease the production cost.
