Zusammenfassung:A proces for the oxidation of vinblastine, leurosine or an acid addition salt thereof which comprises reacting the vinblastine, leurosine or acid addition salt thereof with chromic acid or an alkali metal dichromate, at a temperature of from -30 °C to 90°C in the presence of a water immiscible organic solvent in which alkaloids are readily soluble, acetic anhydride and optionally glacial acetic acid and/or up to 10% by volume of ethanol based on the volume of the water-immiscible organic solvent; thereafter adjusting the pH of the reaction mixture to from 8 to 10; and isolating the products obtained and/or subjecting the said products to further treatment.The specification also describes new bis-indole-alkaloids, pharmaceutical compositions containing them and their use as anti-tumour agents.
