BACKGROUND ART
Vinca alkaloids, originally isolated from the periwinkle plant [Vinca rosea Linn., now Cantharanthus roseus (L.) G. Don] are a family of indole-indoline dimeric compounds that contain a four-ring system containing an indole linked to a five-ring system containing an indoline. Two of

The present invention is in the field of biochemistry and pharmacology. Specifically, the present invention relates to methods for treating cancers and malignancies by administering a pharmaceutically effective amount of a diiodo thyronine analogue having no significant hormonal activity and a vinca
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to the use of vinca alkaloids in combatting tumors.
2. Discussion of the Background
The dimeric alkaloids, vincristine and vinblastine, containing indol-indoline moieties from Catharanthus species are widely used as
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Several naturally-occurring alkaloids obtainable from Vinca rosea have been found active in the treatment of experimental malignancies in animals. Among these are leurosine (U.S. Pat. No. 3,370,057), vincaleukoblastine (vinblastine) to be referred to hereinafter as VLB
