General description 
Homoharringtonine is a cephalotaxine alkaloid which inhibits the formation of diphenylalanine and acetylphenylalanyl-puromycin in liver ribosomes. Homoharringtonine has promising activity in hematologic malignancies and functions as an antileukemic. Homoharringtonine blocks the elongation phase of translation by binding to the 60-S ribosome subunit. Additionally, homoharringtonine has been shown to lower telomerase levels, inhibit protein synthesis, and induce apoptosis.
