Abstract
Summary
Crude extract of Vinca rosea as well as the alkaloids, Vincaleukoblastine and Leurosine markedly inhibit growth of a heterologously transplanted human choriocarcinoma in the hamster cheek-pouch. The host tolerance to these agents suggests their potential clinical usefulness.
The able technical assistance of Messrs. Howard Erwin, Charles K. Turner, and James Brice is gratefully acknowledged.
